Welcome! I'm glad you stopped by for a visit and hope you'll come back often. Please leave comments and notes ...even if only to say hello. It's always good to hear from friends - be they newly made or of of long duration. Again, welcome to my world.

IT'S ARTICHOKE SEASON
It's artichoke season here - vendors are everywhere selling fresh from local fields. Twenty-five artichokes for 6 euro (about $8.50 in US dollars).
I love springtime here.
Yes, Lakeviewer - DH and I currently live in Sicily. We met here when we were both in the Navy ... he got a job offer that was had to resist after I retired ... so we came back. No idea how long we'll be here ...we have such positive memories of the Sicilians from our first stay and it is still a very friendly, welcoming area. Holly

They look great! Pass a bundle this way, please. Are you in Italy?
Yummy! Even in artichoke season we don't see prices like that here.

What fun! I love seeing your pictures of the local scene!
How fun! It's still my dream to spend part of the year in Italy. Have not worked out the finances yet.
You do know that I grew up in Italy and emigrated to the U.S. where I have resided now for over fifty years. Time flies.
Fabulous pic. Yes, I love spring here, too - and artichokes!
Hi Holly,
Yum, artichokes! You live in Sicily, eh? Blog World really is a wide, wide world...
Holly. Your photography is so unique. Love the story of the puppets. The colours, everything so bright. Too bad te art is declining. Polar Bear
