Night Time

I tend to be a day person, but I just love being outside at night. Here is a scene I'd like to live out sometime.

So I have a nice, large, covered patio in my back yard. with some comfortable furniture and a pool. Tonight the weather is especially appealing; a nice, cool breeze is blowing softly and I can hear leaves rustling gently. I am dressed for bedtime, but I decide to go on outside and enjoy this serene setting for a while.

I turn on the patio light and take a book with me. There's already a boom box there and I turn on some nice jazz--just the right kind of music to relax to--and set the CD to repeat. I settle into a lounge chair and start to read my book, getting thoroughly immersed in it to the point of losing track of time. After several chapters, I get an urge to get into my pool, and in I dive! It's so refreshing and peaceful at the same time. I just play around in the water and enjoy the breeze blowing against my wet skin.

Finally I decide to get out and go on inside. I head to my bedroom and take a quick shower to rinse myself off. I dry my hair and dress for bed (again!); then I sink under the sheets of my bed, dozing off to sleep ever so easily.

What a wonderful patio I can enjoy this night, not to mention my pool--all because I HAVE A ROOM FULL OF MONEY!
