Tonight

It’s a beautiful night. There is just a sliver of a moon showing through a bit of haze in the sky. The air is thick and heavy and full of the scent of my stargazer lilies in the garden. I’d like to sit next to an open window and read one of the shiny new stories I just bought at Borders tonight. Because I’ve just come home from some heavy duty book shopping. (Yes, more books…you can never have too much reading material you know.) Yes, it would be nice to sit next to an open window and read and listen to the night sounds and smell the flowers.

Of course the window would have to have a screen to safeguard against nasty, buggy creatures, and well…I’d have to have a fan to move some of this heavy, soggy air around. Ok….well maybe the window would have to be closed so I could run the air conditioning…And well, reading by moonlight would be hard so I’d need a lamp….

You know what, forget it, it’s a HOT and STICKY night that’s hard to breathe in because every breath feels like a drink of water. And the bugs are icky and numerous and the smell of the lilies is too sickening sweet to be tolerated for too long.

I’m going to get into my bed and read and just pretend I’m outside in the picture perfect night. Yup, that’s the ticket.

Three posts in one day? I must be bored.
