busy day

This morning I finished the financial aid forms, made the copies, etc., and put that to bed. At noonish Ellen (yoga teacher) and Neela (friend from yoga) visited. Neela had been in India, her homeland, for an extensive visit and brought me back a wonderfully festive silk scarf which has found its place draped around the frame of a print in our collection by Hundertwasser.

This afternoon when Judy got here we had a short walk, the weather and time of day pairing for wondrous colors in the western sky. On a particular neighbor's fairly new concrete sidewalk I noticed the remains of wet leaves which had left imprints in shades of brown on the ground. Some leaves were highly detailed; others were bunched up together near the edge of the sidewalk, sort of blended together in color. And again nature makes her mark.

Working in Mill Valley tomorrow.
