At lunch time the kids were tired, so I gave them a quick lunch and then to nap. I scraped a little more of the back window, but the clouds looked threatening, which made me nervous atop the tall ladder. We went for Marcela at the train and then to the supermarket for a few things. I tried to read a magazine in the car while waiting with Maxim and Noah, but they wouldn't let me. All the way home and until the sun was setting it rained. The air had been cool all day, but the moisture was welcome. It has been a dry summer. Unfortunately, for the kids, it meant more inside time. They didn't get to play in the yard today at all. Perhaps tomorrow. We ate dinner and read some books. They are slowly going to sleep. Just as the sun reached the horizon, the edge of the rain clouds did too. The kosmos growing in the pot in the yard got a direct hit, which is why they look like they are glowing in this photograph. The long sliver of light comes in between our house and Jake's next door, only twice a year. It was nice ending to a good Wednesday.
