A Dark & Stormy Night in Ferrara

and in Washington, DC. I'd hoped to have one of several posts ready with much more than this...but people have not answered their emails with permissions. Ferrara is a lovely Renaissance town though I don't profess much familiarity with it. I just read that it is a UNESCO heritage site. Very nice. With that, I better shut things down as the rain is now much, much more than background noise. Time to put the kettle on. Cheers. (Ferrara::1 by MisterKey via deviantArt)

reminds me of a walk I did in Paris on a rainy evening

Ferrara is also the city of Giorgio Bassani and the setting of his marvelous novel Il Giardino dei Finzi Contini......

Simon--isn't it nice? I mean if one knows that there's a dry place waiting & it's not mandatory to be out? I love walking in the rain w/big umbrella. But like the hothouse flower my mother claims I am (grrr), the conditions have to be just right. Or is that the Goldilocks Theory:)

Mary-Laure--I cannot pull one over on you for a second. I wish you'd be my editor! Now, I'll put in the label for a writing project that I left off. Amazing. I think we need to get you on to Jeopardy & win a million dollars. (I'm not kidding.)
