(no subject)
I had a fantastic evening last night. Friends came over late, and we gamed (D&D) until about 4am. :) Much fun was had by all. Shadorn told me that he didn't have anything all that epic planned, and we ended up taking on three pirate ships and a friggin blue dragon. Not epic, my ass! hehe. I will likely be writing that up for my BF entry this week (if I make time to write).
Tonight was one of those transcendent nights. It is absolutely gorgeous out! Shadorn and I went for a walk right around midnight, and savored it. The temperature is absolutely perfect, warm, but not hot, with a cool wind carrying with it portents of fall. It sprinkled on and off today, so the air smells of warm, moist earth, mixed with fruit from the vineyards, and the dusty smell of drying corn in the fields. It is the perfect melding of all the good things about August and October at once. The sky was swirled with streaks of high clouds, but was clear enough for the stars to shine through. As we walked the stretch of road near the corn field, we heard what we think was deer, slipping between the rows. As we walked back along the fields, a wind picked up, causing the dry leaves and husks to rustle and crackle like a hundred deer were about to burst from the field.
I could happily live somewhere that was around this temperature, maybe varying up or down about 10 degrees, all year. It is perfect. I adore these nights. Sitting here writing this, I hear the wind picking up even moreso. Perhaps tomorrow we'll go out to Lake Michigan after our training client and catch the sunset on the waves that have to be pounding. :) Maybe swim in the shallows if it isn't TOO rough or chilly. These are the times I love Michigan.
