Where art thou Spring?
The East Coast has just been getting slammed this Winter with freezing temps and snow. We received two feet of the fluffy white stuff this past weekend and they’re now calling for more this week. Enough already! I’m ready for warmer weather, blooming flowers and to see my green lawn again.
Castelli
Each year we have made the journey to Italy, we have made sure to include Castelli into our day trips. Situated high on a mountain-side and over-looking the town of San Gabriele, Castelli is a small town famous for their beautiful ceramic artwork. The town is not very big but there is a lot to see. One street after another boasts beautiful stone homes and tiny little shops filled to the brim with one gorgeous ceramic piece after another. Since it does sit on the mountain, each street is basically a small hill, which makes carting a stroller around pretty tricky. But it is all part of the beauty of this quaint town.
Shrine
I still have pictures from our trip to Italy this past summer that I have yet to sift through. Shame on me. I guess that’s what happens when you have a second baby, things take a lot longer to get accomplished. Oh well, it will get done when it gets done.
I’ve always thought these side-of-the-road shrines in Italy are incredible. Whether they are a simple cross or a full-blown statue with stone covering like the above one is, they are something to see. I would love for on one of our trips over to spend some time traveling and just taking pictures of all the different ones we come across. They are literally EVERYWHERE.
Cardinal
Like most of the Northern East Coast this past weekend, we received a ton of snow – more than 2 feet! It was fantastic watching it fall all day Saturday from the comfortable (and warm) seat near the window. This cardinal didn’t look too pleased that I was spying on him…
