Sunny day
Yesterday was warm and wonderful. Every one was out in the city streets for a passeggiata, enjoying the 18° C (64.4° F) temperatures and the air which smelled like spring. I bet the folks living up on the last floor of this palazzo in the centro storico really enjoyed their terrace yesterday. I can picture a table hidden behind the budding jasmine shrubs. Dappled light broken only by the squared shade provided by a white canvas umbrella. A frosty bottle of white wine, a chunk of Parmigiano, a small bowl of Gaeta olives, some bread. Birds chirping. Distant childrens' cackle down in the street. A bee buzzes in the geraniums. I take a sip.
Dreaming is gratis.
What a beautiful day in Roma. ;-) On the other hand, we had lots of snow.

Yes it was like that yesterday though not as mild as in Roma, however today there is a cold wind blowing! Not quite Spring yet but loved your description.
ReplyDeleteA cheerful image - and a welcome change to all the snowy shots we've been seeing around the northern part of the blogosphere!
ReplyDeleteSo now I close my work files and start meditating. And I promised myself to go to google reader only for 15 minutes:-)))
ReplyDeleteI wish I was there!
ReplyDeleteOooooo this is fabulous! I'm loving your new blog, well, new to me. Thanks so much for the BD wishes. I seem to get sassier each year...I'm more comfortable in my skin...perhaps because it is looser! **kisskiss** Deb
ReplyDeleteSognare fa bene!
ReplyDelete"Dreaming is gratis." Nice! Yes, and your words get us in the mood. Grazie mille.
ReplyDeleteThat was the best fantasy I've had in a long time - thanks!
ReplyDeleteI am very jealous. Waiting for the coffee this morning, I looked at the thermometer outside my kitchen: -17 C (0 F). I do have some wine, though it will be rosa!
ReplyDeleteLovely photo! I wish I was there right now instead of here with all of the snow we are getting.
ReplyDeletePretty, pretty!
ReplyDeleteNice to dream and fantasize, and take pictures. Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteI take a sip too! Oh please, please pleaaaaase!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteyour photos are beautiful and your words are even better.
ReplyDeleteyou're a creative soul Lola and I'm so pleased that you share.
A lovely photo of that building; I love the architecture! Yesterday, was "warm" and sunny in Eagan, too. But our 34 degrees Fahrenheit doesn't' sound as nice as 64!
