Dinner in the dining room

Sitting in our dining room having our supper, we are reminded of the gentleness of candles instead of harsh electric lighting.The sounds of conversation and the satisfaction of a well cooked meal prepared for a family at the end of the day. Flavours abound in our meal, crepes stuffed with chicken, white wine, asparagus and fresh baked apple pie.

Our day was spent cleaning up in the yard, chopping wood for the stove, clearing out a shed and draining the water from it. The weather was dismal,  misty and wet, and the ground is sopping wet with standing water in places.

This is another day in a series of wet, dark days. I'm getting tired of it to be frank but there is precious little to be done about it. I just hope our gardens don't drown and we lose the plants.

But enough of the dismal tone. We have ended our day, with a fine meal, good company in the form of my sister and excellent conversation. We look forward to many more.

That's all for now, thanks.
