This morning, I woke up just a little after 8.  In my old life, that would've been sleeping in, but since retirement, I've been able to sleep until 10, though sleep isn't always restful and I have strange dreams.  Like the other night - I dreamed that I was playing my violin at a friend's wedding, only the notes weren't on paper - I was reading crochet stitches and having a hard time reading them!  Finally, I gave up and just played from memory, which went much better.  So maybe crocheting tons of scarves and granny squares is getting to me...
Anyway, today has a been a typical fall day like I know them in the States.  It's very very windy.  The river was littered with little yellow polka dots - all the leaves have finally been swayed to begin their journey downstream.  The clouds are all different colors - dark grey, almost purple, next to white streams, with little ribbons of blue sky peeking through.  We went to the yarn lady again today so I could get some more creme-colored yarn, and it was just chilly enough to need my wool coat and a scarf.  After lunch, it sprinkled on us a bit - oh, Sarajevo, I think it rains here as much as it does in Seattle or Kauai - but it wasn't enough to really put a damper on things.  Even though there are clouds in the sky, I can look out my living room window as I blog and see the hills through and behind the apartment buildings.  It's a beautiful sight, and it makes me happy to be here. 
I think there might've been something in that Indian food.

You play violin?
Yup. And viola, flute, drums, and a little piano (very slowly, but I can play Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata).
