I was in the backyard weeding and weeding, deadheading the roses and planting the mock orange (all plants at BiMart were 75% off, victims of the heat wave) when the world turned an odd color of orange for a minute. It was a kind of scary, other world orange and then I looked up.
Can you even believe this cloud that covered most of the north sky? I think it looked like a baby head being born. I truly have never seen a sky that looked like this.
Something exciting (at least to me) seems to happen each day here. Yesterday I went swimming at the Naches outdoor pool. Today I met Lulu's husband and baby. Lulu is the person I see most often at Santos Panaderia. She is helping me with my Spanish. Sometimes other customers in the store will jump in when I ask the word for an odd thing like rainbow sherbert. I got called to jury duty, but I don't live in Eugene anymore.
But the news of the day paled as compared to the alien baby orange scary cloud event.
I miss my friends. You know who you are.
Alice are you there?
