Spring has finally, and gracefully, reached our part of Europe! As evidenced in the picture to the left taken near our village center, the cherry trees are blossoming along with young love and the desire for Italian ice cream. This is truly my favorite season here!....that is, well, until summer and the strawberries and cherries arrive..or autumn with the apples, plums and wild blackberries.....What a horrible place to live, having to make such difficult decisions like one's favorite fresh fruit or season. Oh well, I suppose I'll just keep taking walks and save such weighty decisions for later.
