Feste...Holiday Time...

It seems hard to believe that it is that time of year again.  I have been very absent from my blog for quite some time.  The loss of a Mother changes the way everything feels.  This holiday season just feels different, and if I am to be completely honest, a little sad.  But... Christmas is upon us! Time for traditions, and that always includes special meals and get togethers... not to mention SWEETS! The traditions must carry on,  for all of us,  but especially for our children.  Traditions create memories... and what do we have if we have no memories...

Pensieri Di Primavera…Thinking Springtime…

Springtime is here,  and as usual,  I am behind… such a procrastinator,   maybe one of these days I will stop putting things off… In the meantime,  I will try to catch up.  Starting some flowers from seeds,  and hoping to be more successful with that than I usually am… having the sprinklers redone and removing some old plants, replanting to make the borders more permanent,  and a little less labor intensive.  Enjoying dinners outside again,  and loving the long days,  and gorgeous sunsets.
