Lights

There are these little lights in the backyard--you know, the architectural lighting that people put outside their homes so it will look pretty at night. We just got them, or my roommate got them sometime while I was away. But now I keep my back blinds open enough that I can see them at night. There really is something soothing about them; the way they glow a purplish-white glow and they are all lined up in two symmetrical rows. They aren't terribly bright, but just enough to see clearly from my window. I like it.
