bright sunny day




What does one do on a bright, dry, sunny morning after almost a week of overcast and wet weather? Why, the laundry, of course. Early this morning the sun was out, there was not a cloud in the sky, so I gathered up three loads of wash and got right to it. It was the sort of day where laundry hung out at 10 AM is dry at noon. The clear, hot weather held all day so everything got nice and dry and yes, stiff. But that's just fine with me. No ironing needed.

Then this afternoon, live from the Met, "Der Rosenkavalier" with the sublime Renee Flemming. It's a long one - over 4 hours. Boy, that Strauss really knew how to crank out the tunes. We get to hear abother of his operas, "Ariadne auf Nauxos" on February 20. Next week, "Carmen" will be served up.

And here I always thought that laundry was men's work. Maybe just in our country!
