Troops went by the house and down the road and the dust they raised powdered the leaves of the trees. The trunks of the trees too were dusty and the leaves fell early that year. The plain was rich with crops; there were many orchards of fruit trees and beyond the plain the mountains were brown and bare. There was fighting in the mountains and at night we could see the flashes from the artillery.
In the dark, it was like summer lightning, but the nights were cool and there was not the feeling of a storm coming.
Sometimes in the dark, we heard the troops marching under the window and guns going past pulled by motor tractors.
