Bright Night

Last night my head was a jumble. I needed to walk. So at sunset I walked with Lily to Cass Park and threw the softball for her. She is sometimes too distracted to fetch, but this time she chased after it. I threw it about five times and then she was tired. On the way home she lay down in the stream to cool off. By the time we headed home it was dark but our neighborhood was lit up from the baseball park lights in Bouley Field and there were people outside at cafe tables at a nearby coffee shop enjoying the night.
