Sunsets & Kites :: It’s that time of year where right around 8PM or so I can hop in my car and within 7 minutes or less be looking at this amazingness of a sunset.

In other seasonal news, it’s also the time of year when I stock my summer trunk. In the spirit of spontaneity, during the Seattle sunshine months I keep the trunk of my car stocked with summer things – you never know when you’re going to need folding chairs, tennis rackets or an inflatable boat! Really, you never know – and you don’t want to be caught unpreprared should the moment strike and all you want to do is watch the sunset while perched in your inflatable boat.

Yesterday I was in the toy store looking for a kite (because yesterday was a perfect day to fly a kite). While we were shopping it began to rain and our dreams of flying a kite slowly washed away, but you know what?? I bought 2 kites anyways and put them in my trunk!  Someday very soon, those little kites are going to come in handy and make me very happy.
