Rain and cold and drear and the gradual sink into a low mood for me: the late afternoon lead-up to dinner played deep in the key of blah and yech right up until the three of us sat down for delicious bowls of ultimate cream of tomato soup along with very-fresh-baked peasant bread grilled cheese sandwiches. It was the beginning of things looking up, and the rains must've gotten the message because they moved on in the meantime.
Addendum from Easter Sunday: to finish out the evening after a supper of tasty leftovers, the remaining loaf of peasant bread was turned into some simple and satisfying cinnamon toast.
