My lemon tree



Journaling:

I stayed with my sister for a weekend recently and was enchanted by her lemon tree in a pot at her front door. When the boys asked what I would like for Christmas this year I thought, “Yes! I know exactly what I would like!”
Giancarlo and I spent the morning together yesterday picking out the perfect tree and a beautiful glazed pot.
We got punnets of petunias to go in terracotta pots in front, and we put my geraniums on either side and the effect, on my front porch, is just charming.
When I look at it, I see... scented blossoms on the lemon tree and cascades of pale purple petunias...

PhotoHunt: Wide - Trixie







Deck the halls with barfed up holly,
Fa la la la la
La la la la.

Trixie and Pyewacket were playing thundering herd of elephants last week, and they knocked the tree over. Bent branches, downed ornaments, bits of tree all over the carpet.... oh my!

The vet said to put her on a diet as she is getting quite wide, but she didn't take kindly to the idea.

This is my latest entry.

PhotoHunt: Breakfast - Sorrento


Can you guess what my favorite appliance is? Yes - my Breville cappuccino maker.
Do you know, I think 7am is my best time of the day because that's when the scent of Vittoria Espresso wafts through the house.

This picture is from Il Fauno Bar in Sorrento. I've been there a few times now. Looking forward to going back, too.
