Minty fresh

My friend's wedding is just around the corner and I will be playing a small part in the festivities. Another friend and I will be doing a reading together during the ceremony.  I gathered the remaining details of my outfit today and am excited about getting dressed up for the evening.


There's nothing like a summer wedding and hopefully my minty shoes will keep me cool!

Summer Twilight

Twilight.
One of my most favorite words, long before it was synonymous with love struck vampires.

There is nothing quite like seeing a room begin to glow early in Twilight.  Tonight, as I mindlessly checked my nightly ritual websites, I saw the curtains take on a peach colored hue.  

I hurried outside, eager to take in the last bits of light that splattered across the sky.  What is it about this time of day that give me such tranquility?  I found myself all alone outside with just me and a fading light.  The damp grass tickled my bare feet and my toes squished into the soft earth.

I took a deep breathe and within a blink of an eye the sun had gone to sleep.

I came back inside and immediately realized the all too familiar itch beginning on my feet, caused by hungry mosquitoes.  But for once I didn't care because for a brief moment I was a summer goddess, blessed with warmth and contentment from the blushing light.

Everyone needs a little friend to hug while taking an evening nap.
