Night walker

The only part about fall I was dreading was taking Lucy for walks at night in the dark. She hates shadows, I'm always worried about walking into something (parked cars, street lights, you name it...), and there just isn't as much to look at. But I've found a silver lining: when we walk at night, I can peek right in on all the houses in the neighborhood.

Last night while we were out, I discovered some really interesting floor plans and creative decor (and a few things I'd never do with my own house...). From one place to another, I could smell dinner being made (and, in one case, burned), see families playing board games, and snoop on who was watching what on TV. You can tell a lot about a person by if they prefer Gossip Girl over CNN.

I also realized how easy it is to tell if people are keeping their place clean. I made a mental note to keep my living room more tidy in the event that all the passersby walking by our house are peeking in my windows, too.
