Lit From Within

Last night we walked to the swim spot after the sun had already set. The water was very cold; a tingly-cold that feels like swimming in mint. We brought a glow-in-the-dark softball I had found recently. We've discovered that softballs float in water! Lily fetched it a few times. When we climbed back out to the street we ran into friendly neighbors and talked until it was very dark and we were being eaten by mosquitoes. We walked home down the dark streets, looking into the houses along the pond that were lit from within.
