There is no light like the light of an October afternoon when the sky is blue and the air has a bite to it in the shade. Somehow the highlights are brighter and the shade is deeper and the whole world is really really beautiful. So it was last Saturday. We had a chilly gray start to the day, and we were all having the "comparing the layers" conversation we always have, how many layers of what, and what we couldn't find this morning that we really wish we were wearing right then. But the clouds blew away during the noon hour and suddenly there were people everywhere. Homecoming this time meant a late Ducks game (yeah!) and lots of visitors wearing UCLA shirts and hats.
The afternoon was full of delicious light:
Making beeswax candles glow at Sue Theolass' booth,
giving this lovely lady some warmth to bask in at Ayala Talpai's,
catching Elizabeth Cable's fingertips during an absolutely heart-melting version of "Help the Poor" with Natty O's band,
and lighting up this afternoon chat amongst Marketeers Mary, Richard and Aretta.
Prospects for sun look less certain this coming Saturday, we shall welcome it if it shows up!
