A Summer Night

Tonight I looked out into the backyard and saw this... 
My boys were in the backyard in their swimsuits, standing on top of our little playhouse, peeking over the fence, checking out the view from the top of their world, while eating popsicles - "popstibles" as Cooper calls it. They were so cute!

Life is good.

You know, you really seem to have found contentment. How lovely...

There really is just something about summer evenings when the sun is going down, the fireflies begin to sparkle and little boys peek over the fence to see what lies on their horizon... even if it is another fence and somebody else's driveway and backyard. I will have to say though that a summer evening is much more delightful when you have someone to share it with. Mine are sometimes lonely after being with so much family and then the quietness of no conversation at all while a tired husband sleeps. However, the birds singing their goodnight songs, a soft breeze, and those tiny twinkling lights brushing through the air at dusk is somehow a sweet comfort to this mama who no longer has little ones peeking over the fence. :0)Hmmmmm... maybe I'll write another blog entry of my own on this subject.

Your mom should write a book ... I love her poetic comment.
