Awesome night outside

I was out watering the flowers around 10:00 tonight and a couple of things came to mind.

The first one was why in the world am I watering the flowers when I can hardly even see them? Seriously!!

And the second one was how awesome the night was. Now even though it was pretty stinking dark outside, the kitties were playing and running around just having the best of time in the lawn. The dogs were camped out in the yard chewing on who knows what, and there was about a billion gazillion stars out! You could hear the crickets in the fields and honestly it was one of those moments when everything seemed right in the world. Do you know what I mean? As I was walking to the chicken coop I could literally hear myself take a deep breath. Yup, I was in the zone man.

Now what was I doing tonight when I wasn’t walking around outside? I didn’t know if William was coming home this weekend or not, so of course I’m sure he doesn’t have any food where he lives so I made a double batch of a cream cheese pumpkin roll that he likes so much just in case he gets hungry. After that I decided to make a batch of Barefoot in the Grass soap.  I think it turned out pretty good and I guess I’ll just have to wait and see tomorrow when I unmold it how it looks. Until then the kitchen smells good. DSCN8227

As for the rest of the night I did a couple loads of laundry, got groceries, watered the garden, did dishes, and now to take a hot bath and call it a night.

I really stink at taking the night sky pictures which is honestly too bad because the sky has been really cool this summer. What I mean is that tonight again you can see the Milky Way along with all the rest of the stars and the dipper is so low in the sky that it reminds you that it’s going to be cold weather soon. So my photo of the day is that of our windmill. Now granted I LOVE our windmill but when the sky is full of stars it looks pretty cool if I say so myself! I just wish I was better at capturing it on a picture. DSCN8232
