It’s a cool evening. The tree frogs are out and about with fireflies flashing their butts in the air. The damp summer air smells wonderful. More evenings/nights like this please.

Everything got a nice drink today.

@redcrew yep! :)

@redcrew Nice. I have a handful from a friend. Going to make a simple pasta with them.
