Peace at Twilight

Maureen is now the chef and the cook in this outfit.

This means i get to cook supper infrequently, and even then, it’s a couple kind of thing with my grilling and her taking care of the rest.

This means i am eating much healthier meals.

It also means one of the most enjoyable things i do, aka grilling, is done less. I put the charcoal in the egg grill knockoff and start the fire. I get a drink, most often a martini, turn on my old music on the Bluetooth, and sit on the kitchen patio to monitor the air ports, ensuring the right temperature. While waiting i enjoy the Southwest corner. I think about how i got here. This time of the year, the sun is setting or set, and twilight is upon us. i look up to our hill and the chairs next to the flagpole…and i find peace

The sun has set. Venus is talking to the clouds surrounding her.
A few minutes later, twilight is giving way to night. Venus has moved below the clouds and will move east along the horizon. But at this moment, she salutes our flag.

Peace for you all.
