So what happened since the last time I was here? Winter happened. A week of Indian summer, then change took over : leaves turned red and fell, scarves and boots made a reappearance.

Lila and I still go to the park wrapped in our warmest coats. This morning I crouched in front of her and rubbed her bare hands after she looked at me with huge eyes and said, Mommy, coooooold. A million things crowd my mind but I ignore them. I stand looking out the window at nights, watching the shadows of neighbors moving behind curtains, wondering if everyone is warm, wondering how everyone is doing. And then I lie on my own bed and think, tomorrow it will get even colder, and try to fall asleep.
