Spring in Grizzo

Spring has finally arrived here in our part of Italy. Before we left for our spring break trip at the beginning of April, the weather had been nasty and cold almost nonstop. We returned home mid-April to sunny and 70 degrees. And it’s more or less stayed that way. It rains a lot but it is staying warm and the rain brings all the green out. Our landlady has a gorgeous yard that she works in everyday. Her and her son maintain a large orchard and garden as well as some beautiful flower beds. We’ve gotten into the spirit by putting up our flowerboxes on the second floor balcony and adding some flowers in pots on our outdoor table and in some hanging pots. We are playing outside every chance we get, enjoying the sun and warmth before it’s too sunny and too warm!
