It is a beautiful Sunday here in Belgium, the sun is shining, the wind is easy and the temperature is above 70 degrees. My community of approximately 120 people, max, has been out in force. This morning, a women's cycling club rode past, laughing and chatting. Later, several of the older couples were out walking their dogs. This afternoon and evening have brought out everyone in town. We live just a quarter mile outside of town on a small road, and it is popular with the local ramblers. (we hear they ramble instead of walk or hike)
It isn't a typical summer day like we have in Nebraska, it isn't hot and the sun doesn't make you feel like the skin cancer cells are multiplying as you walk to your car. It's more of an Indian Summer type of feel. We have had a week of cold, rainy, fall like weather and now it is nice and sunny. It won't stay like this for long, but when it's nice, everyone gets out and enjoys it.
The sunshine itself also feels and looks different. It's almost a golden glow, like in the fall or towards dusk. It's just beautiful, and we took every advantage of it today. T-ball, digging for worms, flinging pears over the fence and hitting them off the tee, are just a few of the activities we got in today in our perfect, Belgian summer.
