There are days when rain is exactly what is needed. I constantly feel the need to be working, or going somewhere, or doing laundry, whatever. But today the temperature is so pleasant, there is a storm on the way. My son helps me pick some fresh 'ginestra' (scotchbroom) for the vase in the ingresso.
Then we go to the market in Panzano not really to buy, but to watch people.
When I get back to the house, it is pouring down rain, loads of lightening and thunder, and it's a great day to just chill out. Watch the Italian version of Avatar with the kids. Read "Shutter Island" (a truly creepy book). Eat.
Casi di Sotto has not one, not two, but three living rooms. One, we will convert to a large master suite, but the other two are furnished with large, overstuffed down cushioned couches. I sink into one of the couches so far that getting up is not an option.
The flowers are getting the water they need (no dishwater for them today!). The well can wait until tomorrow (as if I had a choice). I don't care about the Internet. Dinner will be pizza at Michaelo's in Radda-in-Chianti.
A gratifying, relaxing day.
Ciao!
