While at the Jersey Shore, a wet and windy day provides the
opportunity for some indoor fun like heading to the movies. Here in
Campomarino, it’s more like time to read, rest and write. It’s also time to
cook.
I headed out this morning under some dark cloud cover to get
some supplies for tomorrow. It’s Zia’s compleano (birthday) tomorrow and I’m
making a Sunday gravy a day early for the occasion. I got all the way back and
realized that I didn’t get the clothespins that I wanted from the Friday flea
market. So I trudged back out in increasing wind and darker skies to get the
clothespins. On the plus side, we now have a whole drying rack of nice,
high-quality clothespins. On the downside, it started raining before I got all
the way back so I got a nature shower this morning. I had an umbrella, but it
kept blowing open so it provided me little relief. It has been cold and rainy
ever since.
With all of the rain, I was able to finish a book, “The
Widow Spy,” and prep the tomatoes for tomorrow. Here’s hoping tomorrow is just
spotty showers.
