August has brought lots of wonderful rain for the garden and now we have lovely warm weather with cool breezes.
Friday was Paolo's birthday so he had an afternoon party down in Monticchiello. Great fun.
Yesterday I drove up to Volterra and bought five alabaster sconces for the house. They should look great.
There's always something to do and someone to do it with.
Today is Ferragosto and we all went for pranzo at Silvana's family farm just down the road. Great day in a beautiful spot.
Life just gets better and better. I'm glad I left the states before the shrub bombs Iran and uses it as an excuse to cancel the next presidential election.
So I'm totally bummed because Bruce has gone walkabout and she's not been seen by anyone in town for a week. She's so pretty, maybe someone took her in, but if not, she's having a great time out there hunting or, like her brother Redney, she's gotten a gig working tables at some local outdoor restaurant. We shall see, or not.
Paolo had a lovely show of his photographs on a farm above Monticchiello. Took my sister and her friends and Carmela, Silvana, Eugenio, Mario and Cesare. Wonderful evening.
Very hot until today. We seem to have some rain in the forecast. Thank heaven. We need a good soak. I watered at Gary and Zak's Monday night and visited with Terry who is a wonderful artist.
