sky things

we have been seeing amazing things in the sky. yesterday a huge rainbow driving maya to kika's at 7:30, maya's first. she was very impressed. today what looked to me like an eagle, gliding in huge circles over bernal heights. i saw him several times as i drove, above the highway, over crescent street, then by glen park. after picking up kids after work we stopped by holly park. we took some secret paths up and over and around. saw eucalyptus trees and figured out how many koalas they would feed. miles found a broken pine cone we brought home to make christmasy. wouldn't it be great, he asked, if there were kids all over here and they were one school and nobody else could come in? we walked by an awesome group of pre-teen girls ferociously playing soccer on the old tennis court. it was getting dusky. maya's little hands cold as she tried to close miles and herself into the fenced off bbq area. lee and miles and kay played rough and ran fast and yelled poopy head into the evening openness. from holly park you can see a lot of the bay. boats, said maya. see brudda? moon. stars.
