Night has come …..gone the sun…

I open the back door and step out into the velvet night. My flowers, snug in their pots, are waiting for me to wish them “good-night”.

MoonLight

Moonlight washes over them, lending an eerie glow.

Scurrying noises from under the deck tell me that chipmunks are getting ready for bed. Or, I’ve scared them off as I walk around in my socks.

Just Breathe

I breathe in the warm, fragrant night air….. and listen to the night creatures….. as they sing.

With arms raised up overhead, I embrace the universe, silently whispering a good-night prayer……

And step on something soft.

And squishy…

Ewwwwwww!!!

I stepped on a slug!
