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)

rainy days
it's such a dark, dreary, rainy day with the wind howling through the courtyard and east along the street from the river.
lol . . Povero Leo! Cricket and Zuzu love watching the rain out the window. They've never been caught in it . . so maybe don't realize how uncomfortable it can be.
As I write I am tucked under a blanket - it’s chilly here with a strong wind and feels almost apocalyptic
ReplyDeleteMilo is however enjoy the odd burst of sunshine where he runs into the garden !

I love thinking of Milo running around in the sunshine in the garden. Tucked under the blanket is a perfect place for this weather :) xoxo
DeleteSame here, it is cold, wet, and now it is snowing.
ReplyDeleteI just can't get over the wind . . it's still howling . . It's a big system, extending to Jonathan in Cambridge and to my nephew in Burlington.
DeleteYes, and Miriam got tons of snow!
DeleteLeo does not like it because he does not like the rain outside.
