The dark southern sky is smiling and winking with a myriad of stars. A light breeze is subtly moving the branches of the huge trees and quietly rustling in the foliage. It seems like the maples are sighing with relief - the summer heat has finally slept for a while. The heady smell of flowers and greenery is in the air. What bliss!

And only a mosquito tries to bite my leg. What a little wretch!
