Bay Window

Our house has a bay window that looks out over the front yard and the street.  It has become a favorite place for me to sit.  I'm attracted by the light and the view up and down the street.

Often there is a surprising amount of activity - birds, squirrels, dogs, people walking, running, or cycling to or from the park.  

Tonight I sat for quite a while as dusk settled and the fireflies came out.  The street was utterly quiet - no cars, people, or animals passed by.  Even the air is still - the leaves hang, motionless, on the oaks and tulip poplars.  

There's a time for bustle and busyness, and a time for quiet and rest.  For Edgevale Road, this evening, quiet and rest is on the agenda.
