I had a lot of work to catch up on yesterday after traveling last week. Gradually, through the day, I watched the temperature outside rise into the high 80s and thought, “Man, I have to get outside.” I had planned to go for a walk around 4, but with just a few chapters to go in a vocabulary book I was working on, I kept working past that.

Finally, at almost 5, Brad and I decided to go out to our property and have a picnic dinner.

Before eating, we took a walk. It was wonderfully warm and breezy and really a stunning night. Over the course of an hour or so, we watched the sky change.

It was really an amazing night. The air was warm, and it was so quiet. It seemed magical.
