My idea of dinner and a show may be very different from others. When my boyfriend got off work we decided to go to our kind of dinner and a show... We went to a sandwich shop to pick up our dinner, two 6" subs and with beer waiting in the ice chest, this will make a great meal. We went for a relaxing drive out on a country road and ended up on a masa. The sunset was gorgeous with colors of blue, yellow, orange, red and clouds building all round. Now everything was going into silhouette, just the way I like it, simple with no complications.
We back into a spot and set there with the windows and the sun roof open. The birds are flying about and the rabbits are running and playing as we eat our dinner. After dinner we go for a walk...he's looking FOR snakes and I'm looking OUT for snakes. We get back to the truck and drive through a canyon that he calls Red Rock Canyon. Only one car or truck can fit at a time and if your not careful you will scratch the truck as you turn. There are markings on the rocks from years gone by, some are fenced in to protect them. There are old mine caves and I want to come back another day to explore them.
As we drive out of the canyon there is a wonderful light show. The thunder and lightening is
awesome so we pull over to take it all in. As we hear the thunder the loud crack follows immediately after. Fast.. one right after another. This is a prefect night.
Sounds beautiful. I could use a few of those. Hell, on of them would be shining.
ReplyDeleteWho needs a big screen tv? Sounds great. And why was he LOOKING FOR snakes?
ReplyDeleteTeri: this definately is my kind of night. So much better than anything you could watch from your couch.
ReplyDeleteRemember that lightning storm we had about a week ago? Well we actually had someone call in sick to work that day because her heart was racing from fear. I have always enjoyed storms and will even run out into them to get wet.
great post
buffalo: It's not something you can plan...that takes away from it. Just do it.
ReplyDeletetim-elvis: My best times in life are not in front of that black box.
The snakes...? Not that he wants to take them home, he just wants to check um out. He's not the first one that I've been with that does that. I don't know.
shandi: I think it's because of where we grew up. The Klamath River had so much you could do, although I'm not sure if the kids today would think so.
As for as the thunder and lightning...my father the RULER of the house worked for the forest service and would leave on fires for days and sometimes weeks at a time during fire season. For me those storms have a kind of peace to them, as well as excitement.
How gorgeous. That's my kind of night.
