Last night was beautiful after a day full of heat and humidity
We sat water late. Very late, as the sun sank orange and blue in the west.
It was way past last light when we got back into the yard
Later, in the darkest hour when the shadow travelers tread the earth — Boomer and I went for a wee walk-about…Mindy didn’t know we were walking, she was on the hunt
We came upon a beautiful little kit fox hunting by itself, an owl hooting in the willow tree.
The night world trembling with small noises, which seem loud.
The wind picked up a couple of last years old corn leaves; flung them into the air… a tiny devil twister making the night air swirl…
A wee night walk… shadowed grass, starlit skies, night creatures, plus Boomer and I.
From my heart to your world,
Linda

I don’t go far, but far enough that the daytime landscape looks a whole bunch different!

So much happens after bedtime and before sunrise. You are blessed to live where a wee walkabout is an adventure and wise to take advantage of the fun. Thanks a lot for sharing!

And the night air is so much cooler. You used to do early, early morning walkabouts!

till do–sometimes take bike out of town so I can inhale the scent of fresh hay and wheat ripening. Can’t take the farmer out of the girl.

I love reading about your night walks — since that is not something I would ever do (and even if I did, i surely wouldn’t see or hear anything as wonderful as you do). Thank you for sharing the magic!!
