Yesterday Delycia and I took a bike ride through parts of shady Stonington on the most pleasant of summer days – 70’s and soft winds.

     More reading in the afternoon back under the trees in the yard, and then a drive to Misquamicut Beach, where the water was a wonderful light blue and fully refreshing.

     Back home, during dinner we watched Act 2 of Smetena’s “The Bartered Bride”, featuring sparkling duets and trios and even an occasional quartet.
