I didn't know where all the red came from except the novel set in Peru was exciting, like red; my living room colors are similar, which I just realized; and the cover of the book sports these exact colors. Granted there was the buzz of organizing the house (crafts people know about clearing paths), the arrival of a lively dog, gathering food and making the pumpkin bars...all added to my having gotten only 5 hours sleep, hoping not to reveal that I had made it only 3/4 the way through the dazzling novel which I plan to finish now.
