Eave

A brown bat has been spending the days upside-down under our eaves, snoozing as kids frolic fifteen feet below it in the mother of all wading pools. I barbecued chicken satay today, served with peanut sauce. Friends made salad. They asked me how to make the tasty peanut sauce. Here’s how:

  • Buy package of peanut sauce mix

  • Follow directions

After everyone left, our kids went to bed, we cleaned up and reclined on lounge chairs in the backyard, staring at the sky, waiting for falling stars, and were not disappointed.
At one point I saw a bat.

    “Have wife take care of peanut sauce?”

    These friends, BTW, brought vast quantities of food as well – couscous, falafel, various olives, dried tomatoes, bread etc. And left the leftovers, which we’re still eating.

    Us and the flies. It’s a race.
