a rare and magical evening

When I got home tonight, the sunset was magnificently orange and gold and seemed to fill most of the sky. At the same time, there was a light rain from the thin clouds, which created a large rainbow against the darkening half of the sky. I ran in to get Roen and we ran around dodging raindrops and catching fireflies. It was so lovely out that I went in to get Simone but she was already asleep. Roen discovered that these purple fairy bell flowers in the front yard can be used as magic wands, drinking cups, and firefly catchers. It all seemed too fantastical, I was waiting for a unicorn to come prancing out of nowhere but just a neighbor and his basset hound came by enjoying the evening too.
