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)
It was cool whenever the clouds came overhead . . which was often! Of course this week is warm and probably very sunny there!
The house painting went well. I was supposed to try and remove some mold, which I did, and then I repainted it. It was just a small spot. We'll have to try and remove it more thoroughly next year, and try to see why these particular boards all got moldy.
I wish we had another month too! I signed Chanda and I up for a field trip with our local homeschooling group, and now she has a conflict with this ballet performance which she has to do as they give her a scholarship. We're going to try and attend the first part of the day, however. Oh well!
How is the temperature? Chanda looks cold in the first picture. How is the house painting going? When will you return to the city?

We returned on Sunday.
One more week and classes at the college will start. I wish we had another month . . .
