I am looking out my window (it’s 4:32 pm) at an astonishing scene. The sky is a very dark blue, and below it the roofs of the houses are shadowy and gray as evening comes on. However, between the sky and the roofs, the trees are covered with a band of perfectly lovely deep orange light from the setting sun. I’ve never seen anything quite like it.

Yesterday I spent a beautiful morning with my grandson, Noah. Jaimie brought him down for the day, and Jan and I met them at the Mystic Aquarium for a few hours of happiness. Noah bounced from exhibit to exhibit, utterly enthralled with everything. I was enthralled, too, though far more by this remarkable little boy than by the sea creatures in tanks.

The weather turned piercingly cold today. I went for a shortened walk in the park, struggling against the frigid winds as I climbed my usual steps. I was out for only about 20 minutes before I headed back – panting and shivering – to the warmth of my comfortable apartment.
