Happy Thanksgiving

 

Wishing you and your loved Ones a very happy Thanksgiving

iIt's 14 degrees this morning

Fourteen Degrees Fahrenheit is minus Ten Degrees Celsius 

This is what I came home to. 

I left for Italy knowing that I had plenty of time to  put the Summer away.

It's only November. It's supposed to look like this.

Will the Papyrus survive?

First night home this happened.  It came crashing down  at 2 o'clock in the morning.  Miraculously,  it missed the house, windows and balustrades. When trees still hold their leaves,  and when it snows branches get very heavy.  Not a good recipe for hundred year old trees. 

Happy days to you.

Sicily, the Beautiful

 So strange to come home to snow

I came from Blue Waters, Sun and Sand, the Island  of Sicily.

Sicily is about Ceramics, a very original type of ceramics.

Sicily is about great food.

Sicily is about Sunshine, the  Ocean and boats.

She stood watch by my villa door

Every building in Syracuse looks like it belongs on top of a wedding cake. 

And Sicily is about History.

It snowed

 It snowed during the night.

It surprised even the Canada Geese.

I wasn't ready  either.  My sun umbrella is still up.

More  snow coming from the mountains.
