The Windows of the Night

If only you could know what the atmosphere is like tonight here in the Loony World, you would never want to return back to the real world! As I am now standing at Hazy Peach Avenue, I must tell you that... it's snowing!!! Yes, fluffy, delicate pieces of vanilla frosting are falling from the heavens all over the place here! One can't help but stick his tongue out and tirelessly attempt to catch each of them as it comes down from the grey, overcast sky. Moreover, cool, pleasant winds are blowing from the Northeast not too distant from where the Loony Lovers Point Observatory is located. Anyhow, I am headed towards Loonardo's Cafe and Bakery, which is situated at Crystal Lake View Hills. It's a nice, spacious cafe with large windows and a large skylight. The skylight has to be the most remarkable feature of this cafe. On a clear starry night, you can actually watch the twinkling stars thru the skylight as you lay down on of the many comfortable couches of the cafe, indulging yourself in your favorite hot beverage. It's too bad that the sky tonight is blanketed with dark, grey clouds and the skylight is definitely covered in snow by now. Ah, there's Loonardo, my dear loyal waiter! Hey Loonardo! Look at that cheery fellow, welcoming me in. As I enter the cafe, I can smell the beautiful aroma of the many Loony beverages and bakery items on display that would just excite your senses. There's Loonesca, Loonardo's humble, soft-spoken wife, sitting in her usual corner knitting woolen sweaters for her 3 kids: Loono, Doosro, and Teesro. Loono is the smart one. Doosro is the troublemaker. Teesro is the quiet, shy one. They're all tucked in bed at this hour, which explains all the tranquility here. Loonardo is signaling me to my favorite spot next to the large windows that give you a fantastic view of the majestic Crystal Lake. Once again, on a clear moonlit night, you can see the moon rising over the lake, with each ray of moonshine falling over each and every ripple of the lake. I take a seat and fixate my eyes on the breath-taking view outside these large, clear windows. I can see the snow falling over the freezing Crystal Lake, surrounded by snow on its shore and snow-covered pine trees. There are small cottages with snow covered rooftops with smoke blowing out of their chimneys. Also, each cottage is separated by glimmering streetlamps. Oh and within minutes, here's Loonardo serving me my favorite beverage - a hot cup of Loonuccino, with a dipped dark chocolate wafer and garnished with dark chocolate sprinkles. Thank you, Loonardo! *Takes a sip* Mmm...perfect taste at the perfect temperature! In addition, there's a perfect view from these large windows too! As I am enjoying my Loonuccino, Loonardo has now cranked up the heating a little bit, by adding more firewood to the fireplace, which has made the place even more warm and cozy than when I had walked in. He says it's almost time for him to lock up and turn in. He also says there's a chance of a blizzard tonight and so he is offering me to spend the night here, if I want. I thank him for his hospitality and succumb to my desire to fall asleep here on this comfy couch amidst all the warmth here. Until next time...goodnight and sweet dreams fellow Looners!!
