Today, the first of December, was a doozy. Rain, thunder, lightening, then hail in the morning, then clearing. When we headed for the car to do some shopping and get some lunch, it began to rain once again. By the time we headed home from Sarzana it had completely cleared and the world of the Apennines was glistening with a fresh layer of new snow upon which little cat paws of fog skittered merrily.
I had to dump the groceries on the table and walk out to where the dump used to be (before we got our fancy-schmancy Tuscan recycling bins) in order to get this picture, just so you know.
