QotD: Favorite Time of Day
What's your favorite time of day and why?
I love the night. Firstly, I love the peace and quiet of night. I get things done without the interruptions of phones and doorbells and the neediness of others. I'm at my most creative, and it's when I get most of my writing done. The nighttime solitude is refreshing and energizing.
I need the coolness the nighttime brings especially at summertime. My window is open to let in the the cooled air and the fragrance of the jasmine climbing up the lattice. Even in the winter months I open my window to feel the breeze and rain. I can't handle the beating glare of the hot sun. I sometimes end up in the hospital during the height of summer. The hot days are just too much for me; it just might kill some day!
Candlelight is best at night, and at times I would light upwards of a dozen in my room. I can read and write just fine in candlelight. I love the ambiance; my room looks luxuriant and cozy.
I had worked nights for twenty-five years, as my choice and for what's best for our kids. I was here for them after school, all through dinner, homework, and bedtime. I slept while they were at school. Now that I'm retired, my schedule still include much of my waking time at night.
I actually do my gardening at late sunset.
You Are Midnight
You are more than a little eccentric, and you're apt to keep very unusual habits.
Whether you're a nightowl, living in a commune, or taking a vow of silence - you like to experiment with your lifestyle.
Expressing your individuality is important to you, and you often lie awake in bed thinking about the world and your place in it.
You enjoy staying home, but that doesn't mean you're a hermit. You also appreciate quality time with family and close friends.
