Tonight was a special night. Not in any grand way, but special nevertheless. In lieu of our regular neighborhood association meeting, there was an Evening of Art in Butchers Hill that featured some of the many artists that reside there - jewelry makers, sculptors, photographers, knitters, and wood workers. In the past, I might have feigned off, made up any old excuse in order to justify staying home - too busy, too tired, an early appointment the next morning. But, this time I didn't! Instead I asked my friend and neighbor if she would like to join me, and she said yes.
We ended up having a really good time talking with neighbors, browsing among the myriad of artistic works, and drinking some darn good wine to boot, just steps from our own front doors. Perfect. Afterwards we went to my friend's house to settle in with a nice bottle of red and some good conversation. I felt truly blessed that I live in a neighborhood that holds this kind of event, that is chocked full of interesting and good people, and that I have a good friend to share it all with.
