Today is quite rainy where I am. I'm so glad, as its been a bit of a drought here. No manual watering needed today. Plus, I always tell my husband how much plants prefer rain water over tap, due to chemical makeup of the latter. But the latter is always better than nothing. Though I wouldn't want all days to be rainy, a good rainy day is so relaxing for a change. Always enjoyed them.

Yesterday we went to a very old local church (1100s) and heard an organ and flute concert. So nice! Plus we got to see inside, which is not usually the case. There were faint frescos painted on the inside. Very old! Initially we sat in the church, but it was a bit hot there for me. We then stood at the entrance, as it was cooler outside. The music played started with pieces from as far back as 1200s, then 1400s, then progressively more modern, ending with pieces from Bach and Debussy.

My sister and I hadn't communicated for a number of days. The last contact had been me emailing her a strongly worded response to a most horrible email she sent. This morning she finally responded. I confess that I was too nervous to read it. I asked Hubby to read it for me and let me know what I might expect, to ease and/or manage any possible additional stress. He said that it was actually a response I'll welcome that my sister finally "heard me". It's noon now in Central Europe (6 am in New Jersey), yet I've still not read it, despite. I feel very sensitive and vulnerable right now...raw...but will read it in a little while.
