Sunset: Memorial Day

Three beautiful things from my past week:

1. Work let us go early in honor of the long holiday weekend. It was lovely to spend some extra time outside on a sunny afternoon.

2. The first fireflies of the season have shown up. They aren’t blinking en masse yet, but you’ll see a couple each evening in front yards and parks. Looking back through past Three Beautiful Things posts suggests to me that they appear right around now every year, but since they were a July insect where I grew up, I’m always so surprised to see them in the final days of May and first days of June.

3. Walking into Trader Joe’s on a Saturday evening and having there be no line. We’re in between sessions at the local university, so that had to have cut down some on the usual crowds there at that time.

How about you? What’s been beautiful in your world recently?

This week has been just amazing. Rain, but only at night – the days have been just glorious!
