We couldn’t help ourselves and lost track of time at the pond. Now it was dark and the stars were reflecting in the still waters.
Eventually we retraced our steps through the dark forest to get back to the cottage. Entirely new sounds met us as we emerged from the woods into the marsh.
As we settled in, we were grateful to have windows open, as a whippoorwill serenaded us throughout a deep sleep. We both had countless dreams that night and woke before dawn. We sat and watched the dawn skies turn a thousand colors, at first rich and dark, but finally opening to a vast golden spanse.
Geese flew overhead. They were heading south while we were there.
