26 October 2013

I spent my afternoon driving around the almost deserted streets of industrial Sparks. It was 74 degrees, calm and sunny, and except for the leaves on the trees, it could have been an August evening with the slanting rays of the late afternoon sun. It's been mid-70's, sunny and nice for so much of this month, cold at night for the color, warm during the day so the tomatoes can bask in the sun. It's been a sad month, though, with the deaths of students. Last Saturday I took my 10 year old to a funeral for a 6 year old where the closing song was Pinkie Pie singing Smile, Smile, Smile. Then we walked to Daughter's Cafe and had cookies and sandwiches on their patio.
