Lazy Sunday after St. P's...
Mar. 18th, 2001 08:37 pmToday was one of those magnificent days where you don't have to do anything but breathe deep and enjoy the day.
The day started with a sparkle, as the sun caught facets of newly fallen snow. Galina said it looked like someone had sprinkled diamonds in our back yard, and it was hard to disagree. By late afternoon, most of the snow that had fallen yesterday was melted, or otherwise incorporated into the mass that already lies upon the ground.
Drew and Shannon took off for the afternoon, which left just me and Galina here to receive a couple that had dropped by to visit them. These folks earn a living making and selling candles, and we sell their products in the store. Their visit reminds me that I have to get cracking on a web site for the store; one that will allow folks to place and pay for orders online.
I started reading André Maurois' biography Disraeli, which is one of the books that came to light upon returning to the house. I'd never read it before, and though I'm only 50 or so pages into it, there are some passages I think may be worth revisiting in a more careful second reading.
Dinner consisted of Galina's borshch, which is always better on the second day (and would probably be even better on the third, except that none ever survives that long :^), a Greek salad (sadly, without olives, which are all gone), followed by a glass of a sweet red wine named Mavrodaphne of Patras.
Back to the salt mine tomorrow morning...but a day like today makes it all the more tolerable.
Cheers...
