spring is in the air

it all seems quite appropriate ... the change of seasons coinciding with this new phase in this current situation. the clocks are moved forward, mimicking our own momentum, and we have the road all to ourselves as we zip in for breakfast. a first - we have café gitane all to ourselves, not a soul in sight! all the hipsters, who sleep late to begin with, probably tumbling in from their evenings around the same time that we're getting up - they're in bed still. it's a gorgeous, clear day and we enjoy our morning routine. jane is a changed person, mentally, and feels rejuvenated. spring indeed. we've sprung forward!

when we get back, the kids are still sleeping (speaking of hipsters going to bed too late!). we get them up and out the door - andi and marlee have their artwork in a show at adelphi university - and we have a chance to see the exhibit, chock full of really terrific pieces by budding painters, sculptors, and photographers ...

the light is so different, just from this one hour time change, and the afternoon is bright and mild. we have a big sunday dinner and rush out for ice cream! it seems insane, but it feels like summer! we settle everyone down early, so jane and i can watch our argentinian movie in bed - live in maid - a film documenting the life changes resulting from the economic crisis which shook this country and shifted the dynamics of buenos aires' former elite. compelling.

enjoy the light!
