One of my favorite things to do is go for a walk at dusk and pass by people's windows, just as their lights are going on, and before they pull down the shades for the night. I like to make up stories about the people inside, and guess what their lives are like. I always feel warm when I see a mother making dinner for her family or children sitting at a table doing homework. It's so comforting to see 'real life' happening.
Just for fun...here is what people see when they pass our house around 6:30 pm.
