Be like this little piggy
Florence, aglow (in flowers) by late March
Goodbye Tomie de Paola
My son and I loved de Paola’s books and had the privilege of meeting him once. I will always treasure his signature next to his illustration of Botticelli’s Birth of Venus. He looked at me at the book signing and said, “oh, you know this painting?” and I smiled and nodded. RIP.
Countdown to wisteria splendor!
The wisteria in Italy is magnificent. I may not be able to view it in my favorite places this spring, because of the La Quarentena. However, I got a sneak preview on my way to the market recently. Crossing over the Mugnone river near my home, is a lovely little pedestrian bridge that somebody beautifully planned. It has an arbor above and a gorgeous wisteria vine covering it.
Here’s the overpass and you can see that the wisteria is getting ready to burst into bloom!
Here are close ups of the racemes in their current state of growth. I hope I’ll have the chance to see it in bloom in a couple of weeks.
Staying inside, staying inside
At last, a sign of the America that I know and love
Queen and coronavirus
Spanish police sing and dance!
Good advice for the quarantine
Heard some advice on the radio last night, it said to have inner peace, that we should always finish things we start, and we all could use more calm in our lives. I looked through my house to find things that I’d started and hadn’t finished, so I finished off a bottle of Merlot, a bottle of Whisky, a bodle of Baileys, a butle of wum, tha mainder of Valiumun srciptuns, an a box a chocletz. Yu haf no idr how feckin fablus I feel rite now. Sned this to all who need inner piss. An telum u luvum. And two al bee hapee wilst in de instalation.
get back, lauretta!
