Living up here in the sky has its advantages.  We don’t have a lawn or room to store our skis in the off-season, but we do have this amazing light that pours through our north and west facing windows and doors.

For about fifteen minutes, we get an incredible brilliance on these fall afternoons.  There’s a warm glow that reaches from the outside to the inside walls of the apartment.  It’s a gorgeous calm.

And then, just as soon as it seems to come, the warm, thoughtful light disappears back behind those beautiful craggy mountains.
