Today has been an interesting day. After I clicked the shutter to take the fog picture from outside my window you saw in the last post, the fog gently took over and blanketed our valley. We waited an hour, then got in the car to go to Aulla and the Saturday street market. The sun drove the fog out as we ourselves drove to Aulla.

By noon it was hot and sunny, so I put the table out on the terrace and we ate our market rotisserie chicken all’aperto.

After the chicken had turned miraculously into pile of bones, we decided to take a walk to Bigliolo. On the way home, clouds had moved in, obscuring the sun except for a single, solitary beam of light. Yes, it appears the little green people have landed. Unfortunately, they are armed with Cynar, a liquor that tastes exactly like dirt.

Anyway, here:

What’s it like in November in the Lunigiana? Well, it can be spectacular to wake up and throw open the shutters to something like this:

Yesterday’s weather: Sunny morning, then intense rain, then clearing, then rain at night, then clearing, then rain early in the morning, then this.
