Not a really big deal; but, I opened the door for future fun.
Yes, I literally opened the door - our back door. I mentioned in another thread we have 7 houses with unobstructed views of our back yard so it's really not possible to lounge on our back patio without being discovered. However, tonight when I let the dog out about 2 a.m., I turned the outside lights off. I put on my drab deck shoes so as not to ruin my nylon thigh highs on the concrete patio, and I went outside with the dog. The temps are about 62? F and the cool air reaching up under my dress felt glorious. Before going out with him, I turned our family room lights off and had my cell phone in hand. The light from the main screen was enough to see the 2 steps down from the house to the patio. There isn't a single neighbor up at that hour of the day. Of those 7 houses, 6 of the homes are retired people and the 7th one is a couple who get up about 5 a.m. for work. I probably could walk the neighborhood at that hour and not be discovered; but, as soon I would do that, you can bet one of my neighbors would be returning home from a late night outing.
Anyway, it had rained all day and the patio furniture was wet. I hope to go out again when it hasn't rained and I'll sit in a chair and relax for a few minutes longer. Tonight I was only out long enough for the dog to take care of business. I'm ready to do this again - an absolute thrill as well as comfortable.
