A full riot of narcissus was waiting to greet me the day after we arrived home - I picked a large bunch right away to freshen the house. My winter lettuces plumped up while we were gone and the slugs were closing in ... oh my!
Unfortunately, I did manage to catch a cold just before we left the east coast - just like last year. Doh! My sweetie kept the house warm with a cozy fire and made me lots of tea - we slept until noon on Saturday - much needed and I must say that it worked wonders - today, Sunday, I feel much better, though I'm still not quite out of the woods.
Dinner last night was home-made chicken soup and a nice salad. The cats are oh so happy to have us back and hanging around the house to adore them. Rick and I spent a few hours planning our vacation in June, it is coming together so well - we'll be drenched in purple wine on my birthday in Haro, Spain at the "Battala de Vino." All that after a week in Burgundy - the epicenter of Pinot Noir. As much as we love being home, it's a bit disconcerting that we will be away for a good portion of the next year. The vacation doesn't count as the the "disconcerting" part - we will have earned that time off once we've completed our business trips to Las Vegas, Texas, Florida, Los Angeles, etc. It will be so nice to get this brand high in the air and not have to pound the pavement so hard to expose folks to this yummy wine. Come on economy, let's get a move on!!
Cheers!
