The Magic HourI haven't posted

The Magic Hour

I haven't posted in a while because not much has been going on. At least at the time, it feels like nothing I do is worth putting up here. Last weekend my mom and I drove to Harrison to buy some special Japanese chickens for my dad while he was out of town. Two hours up, two hours back, an hour for lunch at an old hotel and one more hour spent setting things up back home pretty much killed an entire afternoon. After all that, the male died leaving me with three boring hens.

A few days pass by and I've started packing for my impending move back home, sent out more resumes, begun a new short story and eaten a loaf's worth of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Now I'm staying with my Uncle Don for a few days. Aside from spending time with my uncle and having a sort of vacation, I've been working to clean his pool. If your idea of work is standing in a pool on a hot day running the vacume and adding a few gallons of bleach in evening, I've really been toiling over here.

Last night I was outside during that strange time between day and night sometimes called the magic hour. I have no idea why but it seems that after lots of rain the evening hours have a dull golden hue in the air. The air was warm, the sky was clear (and slightly golden to boot) and it was just plain nice. Especially after a run of disgustingly hot days. If dinner wasn't waiting for me, I could have stood outside admiring the weather until it slipped behind the curtain of night.
