Gathering in

Look deeply into your imagination and see that smoky dusky blue sky that comes just before a storm, or sometimes, a moment before the night sky really creeps in and becomes a soft velvet blanket covered in rhinestones.
  
This is that ultimate color, the one that signifies security and comfort before pandemonium opens the door to thunder and lightning and dreams spanning the edges of sanity.

Aromas drift from barbeques and kitchens promising taste buds, honed by hunger, that they will soon be treated to something wonderful.

The air is rich with the warmth of sunlight and damp with the encroaching dew.

Birds begin to roost.  People to gather close by.  Family feels closer than ever before.

I can settle into this color.
