The evening is nice in my cozy room. Hubby was tired from the booze and retired upstairs. It is 8pm. The tree is lit and so is the bookshelf. I have full view of outside as our curtains have fallen off their hooks and we need to reinstall them with a drill, which we currently dont have. So the backdrop is the dark street and the lit tree. It is very dark in the room but full of multicolored lights that shine  dimly. La bottine souriante is playing: it is fun music! My roots. Deep roots.
