Shenandoah summer night on the deck

It felt like fall in the Shenandoah Valley today with temps in the 70s, lower humidity, bright sunshine, and a slight breeze.

Tonight there's a coolness in the air ... friends are sitting around the deck ... there's a cheerful, crackling fire and a bottle of wine ... the mountains are silhouetted against the sky with the setting sun ... lively conversation and good times.

The next two days in the Valley are supposed to have temps in the 90s. Real summer weather will be around Saturday and Sunday ... and then it would be nice to slip back into the coolness we have been accustomed to this summer....

Update at midnight.... There's a full moon over the Blue Ridge Mountains, illuminating the mountains and making this an absolutely beautiful evening in an absolutely beautiful corner of God's world.
