Missing you this evening.
We have the fire roaring
for the hot tub
Nothing fancy except the setting.
Nestled amid the orange trees
Under a star-studded sky.
The air is scented with orange blossoms
The evening so quiet you can hear a far-off owl
No traffic noise or street lights
Just the occasional rustle of a night creature
wandering through the grove.
Wish you were here.
Liz and Ethan, this evening

Len, This is beautiful! Such a nice scene…quiet and stars and orange blossoms and maybe the rustle of a wild animal. And a bit of sadness.
