Bocci Ball and Lightning Bugs

Last night I played bocci ball with some friends and then sat in the twilight watching the lightning bugs come out. It was incredibly peaceful. During the course of the evening I had a glimpse of the landscape from a new angle. I saw the bell tower directly against the sky with a background unobstructed by any mountains or hills. It was beautiful. A part of me was reminded that I do miss my Indiana plains. As beautiful as the mountains are, I guess I really am a midwest girl at heart.
