sneaking a peek

I was putting the recycling and garbage at the curb tonight and I looked back at our house and saw one of my favorite things---a house with lights on and window coverings open at night exposing a fleeting moment of what's going on inside. I have always loved walking or driving through neighborhoods in the early evening hours; taking a very slight peek into someone else's world as I pass by. What is cooking? What does it smell like? What is everyone doing? What's the mood? Do they know that someone is looking at their house and taking in a quick moment?
I wonder what the people walking past here this evening are thinking.?
