The sassanquas have pink bloom; pyracanthia berries are turning orange, then red; the fragrance of Tea Olive is in the air again since Spring and trees are dropping their seeds and nuts to the ground. The remains of a hurricane will be coming up from the Gulf tomorrow, but today is a day out of time with indigo sky, cotton clouds and temperatures in the low 80's.
Eleanor and Mathew, Hannah, Sergey and Liza and I spent the afternoon, walking up and down Main St, eating Azeteca food at a table on the street, eating gummy bears from The Mast General Store, counting the little bronze mice along the way. A walk for the homeless was winding around the park, many of the walkers wearing gold T-shirts, a reminder that just beyond this lovely place filled with the beautiful and well dressed, were the unbeautiful, the unwashed, the unsane and the unfed.
We met a couple dressed in Superman T-shirts and capes, walking their red Chow and their black Lab who were also dressed in Superman T-shirts and capes. Sergay kept saying "I want a chow-chow". Liza is still wearing an orange cast on her left arm which she broke skate boarding. Mathew, Sergey and Liza climb over the rocks near the water and watch young men trying to walk a bungie cord they have stretched across a pool.
Hannah bought halloween hats for Liza, Sergay, Mathew at Publix and Eleanor and Mathew gave us beaded bracelets with little pink skulls Mathew's classes made for an art fair at his school.
