We survived the rambunctious weather of this afternoon, and the air has begun to dry out a little. The barn is abuzz with activity, as folks have come out from their air conditioned shelters. There are a few high cumulus clouds decorating the dusky sky. I hear laughter echoing from the indoor arena, and lively conversation from the main barn.
The sky is a soft lilac with peach and pink undertones. The clouds in the east are a soft gray. The sky peeking through is pale turquoise.
My daughter and her three children; Five year old Jake, almost three year old Lila, and almost one year old Isabella just left. I need a nap!! I remember when I was a child and the "older folks" would say "I wish I had her energy." Now I am one of the "Older folks" and I say "What I wouldn't give for their energy."
We had an American classic for supper; Chicken nuggets and mac n cheese, with a glass of red wine of course for the adults, and plenty of sweet and fruity Popsicles for dessert.
I am getting ready for bed. Soon all will be dark and quiet in the barns, and the yard will be left to the peepers and the fireflies. Wishing everyone a peaceful night.
All is quiet on the western front.
You are such a beautiful writer, Judy. You make words come alive.
