Long Hollow

Leash-walking a newly-spayed-and-coned puppy several times in the night through the overgrown "wild grass" on our driveway in my nightgown and flip-flops… not my idea of fun.

But meeting the full moon right outside the door… stepping out into a world washed with its light… hearing the distant howl of coyotes… 

…pure magic. 

(And almost worth the sleep I was missing.)
