I love the summer nights of daylight savings time. Actually, I'm not sure if it is the daylight savings time, or the fact that last year I invested in some deck furniture, but I love sitting on my deck in the evenings. I get a big glass of iced tea and the doggies and I head out. About 8:30 or so, the shade comes across my yard and the sky turns a beautiful light blue, the kind where it looks like the airplanes are scraping its surface. They are so far away, but I can still see them.
Sometimes I look at the stars, sometimes I count the airplanes, sometimes I just sit and enjoy the sounds of the neighborhood. Kids playing, birds singing, people talking and laughing in their backyards. It is going to be a great summer.

What about the bugs? They are starting to come out as the weather gets warmer. That's my main deterrent from sitting outside at night -- being eaten alive by mosquitoes. Otherwise my deck would be heavenly.
I get it about the bugs. But they aren't out yet, and usually don't come out for another month or so. Some summers are worse than others. Last summer didn't seem too bad.
Ahhhh . . . this is the life!!! We'll have a new deck soon. Might have to get you to come over and show me how to make a good glass of iced tea. :-)
