by day the blue will pale down into white where it touches the white of the land, after sunset it has a new circumference-orange, melting upwards into tenderest purple. but the core of blue persists, and so it is by night. then the stars hang like lamps from the immense vault. the distance between the vault and them is as nothing to the distance behind them, and that farther distance, though beyond colour, last freed itself from blue. -e.m. forster (a passage to india)

grey monday
it's a grey day today . . and cool.
we baked yesterday. i made granola and morgana and chanda made chocolate chip cookies.
I know that it's been very cool by you . . I have different weather reports on my new smart phone and I can check into how things are in Houghten! I wonder if you will get some warm weather in September? My mother just read in the Long Island Newsday newspaper that it's sopposed to be a very cold winter. I thought this was interesting and have wanted to read the article myself. I have a Farmer's Almanac at home. I bet I can check that. Manhattan is actually very warm this evening. It's 80 there (it's 70 here). It's supposed to go up to 86 over the Labor Day weekend.
That's terrific that you can also check out our weather! Right now it's quite nice during the day, but cold at night. I also heard that we are heading for a bad winter.
We had a big rainstorm today, but it's quite humid, not cool at all. I loved all your beach pictures. Here it feels almost like fall.
