Since building our small deck last summer we finally have a full summer to enjoy it. This year has been less than typical, more rainy than hot and cooler at times than rainy or hot. But whenever it's nice enough we spend as much time outside as we can, enjoying dinner or the stars or just watching the kids play.
I find that right around seven or eight in the evening is when it's the best to be here. The sun's last beams of light and heat are filtering through the stand of evergreens next to our property and the grass takes on a more beautiful shade of green.
The crickets come out in droves and the other bugs mostly go to bed. It's dam near perfect.
After what feels like a very frustrating day of doing non-work administrative stuff, it's nice to come out here, sit and listen to the night come alive and the day drift off to sleep. It makes all the late nights, the constant sweating, the busted fingers and headaches all worth it.
