In the late Spring, close to Summer, I always enjoyed relaxing on my parent's deck; taking in all the fresh air and listening to the peaceful sounds of the season.
I especially loved nights when it was cloudy and almost rainy, and I'd lean over the deck (which was very high off the ground) and just stare at our backyard. I loved the way the bushes around the deck smelled and I especially loved watching my dog run around.
I don't know why, but I always loved those sort of nights! I think I'm gonna miss that!
