And my favorite!:

Just finished reading this intriguing new novel. I recommend it. A book about childhood, childhood friendship, feeling different, wanting more, learning to find your own avenue. The author has a fresh expression that I found really enjoyable.

Anything, anything at all for a look at Rome at its finest!

This gets my award for best costume ever. Yay to the little girl for carrying it off; yay to the mom (probably) who dreamed it up and made it happen!

Just for fun and a look at Paris!

Two old friends from high school visited me in Florence! Sweet day!

Summer weather yesterday and today

The glow out my bedroom window attracts my eye.

We’ll have our first freeze tonight or at least this week.

My beautiful annuals have bloomed their ever-loving hearts out this prolonged autumn. The freeze will kill them all.

Au revoir my lovelies. I’m grateful for you hard work and humble beauty.
