Sunflowers~ Be still my beating heart..
I am growing them along with basil(Jacques' is doing better than mine~)..and rosemary.. and garlic.. just because they all scream Italy to me~
A friend.. an accomplished artist..is in Florence right now~
Did I ever mention I loved Florence?.. we spent just one day..I could have spent more..I felt rushed in this city of artists..
And wished then and now..time would have moved more slowly..My friend the artist will LOVE it~
When I see these..I think of her..( and my mom of course..and Susan and Mary~ and now Chapot and Ronelle!) the palettes..all full of promise and wonder~
I hope she paints a dab or two..I know she has her Cotman pockets :)I love those!!!
I picked a bouquet of sunflowers late yesterday afternoon to celebrate Ollie w/ the bolognese sauce she left us before leaving..She bought it in Little Italy..I never buy sauces..It was great to try a good one:) I did add hot pepper flakes..but wow..this sauce coated the linguini to perfection~
We thought of her..Italy..sunflowers.. and Florence~
Delicioso~
Brava, Monique! The pasta looks beautiful. Complimenti! I love Italy too!!

ReplyDeleteComme toi je n'ai passé qu'une seule journée à Florence, j'aurais tant voulu rester, Florence, Sienne, Gubion, Saint François d'Assise, j'étais éblouie par les couleurs, l'ambiance, la cuisine,..
ReplyDeleteJ'ai même attrapé "a goose skin" tellement c'était somptueux
Merci de parler de moi, toi aussi tu es une artiste, tes photos sont somptueuses, c'est pourquoi j'aime venir me promener sur ton blog
Bonne soirée
Ah, wondwerful! I hope you have more luck with the sunflowers than I do. The squirrels think I am growing them for their pleasure only!!
ReplyDeleteHow nice your friend is in Florence. I love that city.

Your friend is so lucky as were you. What a beautiful place it must be to see, to paint, to photo!
ReplyDeleteMa ville préférée... je la connais comme ma poche pour y être allé de nombreuses fois pour des séjours plus ou moins longs... chaque fois je découvre de nouvelles choses.
ReplyDeleteAhhhh - Italia - the heartbeat of my soul. I remember each and every morsel of food that I had there. The incredible wine, the music the air. Nothing like it.
ReplyDeleteLove your post...I have such beautiful memories of Florence....
ReplyDeleteHope you are enjoying the new babe!
