Tonight I asked Hubby to go on a night walk with me. I just finished baking a batch of double chocolate cookies and felt like taking a walk. It is hot inside and cool and windy outside. The temperature is about 75 degrees F, so it is really nice out. We took small flashlights and the dogs came too. We visited our back garden with the strawberry plants in it and our side garden with all of our tomatoes in it. We checked our driveway solar lights and replaced a couple that had fallen over. It is really neat to see how different everything looks at night. Our 'Eywa' is beautiful and swaying in the breeze. I wish I could get a good picture of it to show you! We checked our peach trees and oak trees that we transplanted a couple of months ago. The peach trees are in bloom. The oak trees are blooming and coming to leaf. We checked the chicken yard for rats...none there tonight. The chickens heard us talking and a couple of them gave out a little coo.
It sure is nice to live in the country. I wouldn't want to live anywhere else! If I HAD to live in the city, I'd make sure I had the whole yard in gardens and bird feeders. Luckily I don't HAVE to live in the city. No offense intended to anyone. I just don't see myself living in the city any more. I'm a country girl and love it!
Take care.

Eywa
I recently saw the movie Avatar. I LOVED it! The person who wrote that must've been on some kind of trip to imagine something like that. I think the animator was on the same trip. I understand it was made for 3-D viewing, but the effects were really wonderful on HD. What imagination!
My hubby moved one of our outside lights from near the house to our back part of the driveway. We needed to get a little bit of light back there so we can see to turn around in the dark. This is situated next to my beautiful willow tree. Remember that tree from a few posts ago?
Where am I going with this one, you say?
As I was letting the dogs out for their final break before we go night-night, I noticed the willow glowing from the light that was just moved. It was gracefully swaying with a slight breeze and I instantly thought 'Eywa'. I have my own version of a real, live Eywa in my yard! It is so cool to see this effect at night. I've been trying to get a pic of it to put here, but it is very hard to do. If I do get one, I'll surely post it.
Take care. I hope you have a really cool day!
