Day Six: Chew-chew-bzzzt!

Sat on porch tonight, to be close at hand for our sick little ones in the house. A bird I heard last night trilled around the sky again tonight with the occasional 'chew-chew-chew-chew!' Like the frog 'bzzzt'ing next door, it's someone I've known by name in the past and have since lost track of.

The stars marking Orion's left shoulder and foot burned through the blue dusk-glow in the sky, along with four others. The evergreens stood dark and still against the horizon, and tonight I could feel that there was something ancient in the act of watching them at this time of day. It felt like this exact scene, this exact etching of trees on the skyline, had been beheld for eons.
