Tom & Alissa

We, well, once again find ourselves living sans curtains. I think we’re reluctant to put them up now - we have gorgeous windows, and since we’re on the eighth floor we’re already higher up than anyone around and just have a beautiful clear view of east Brooklyn, which is strangely European-looking (kind of a mix between a small village in the UK and some kind of Greek-looking township).

Of course, the sun comes up pretty early these days, as it’s trudging toward the solstice next month, so it’s been waking us up a bit. No worries - Tom’s needed to be up roughly when the sun is lately, so it works out pretty well.

But I wake up then, too, and I have been completely astonished by how beautiful the sky has been. And it changes color, too - sometimes the sunrise is pink, sometimes it’s red, sometimes blue, occasionally yellow.  It’s beautiful. Almost worth waking up for.
