We Went Inside As Evening Came

Outside as the daylight faded, the silhouettes of Ash tree leaves against the grey sky became dim. Fireflies ascended from the lawn, their yellow-green lights blinking all around. The last Morning Dove went to sleep, and the silence of night descended. Crickets began to sing. In the darkness under the Redbud tree, a toad hopped across the ground in tentative leaps.

Alas, the mosquitos came out too, and after a while, we got up and went inside.
