Daily joys: Bruchi. Cat. Fresh mulberry leaves. A good friend.
Never a dull moment around here. One of us was laughing and congratulating the cat on his hunting prowess while chasing the live bird as it squawked and flapped around the house. One of us was on the verge of tears and shouted at the cat for catching a poor little birdie. And one of us yelled, “Damn it, cat! I just vacuumed yesterday!” #hairycaray
Oh joy! Bruchi time. 15 to be exact. These little silk worms will munch and munch on mulberry leaves then spin themselves into cocoons which Evie will take back to school. Not too long ago, this area of Italy was known for the production of silk. Lucky for us, that means science investigations at home. I love bruchi time! How about you? Would you welcome some silk worms into your home?
When I was in the 4th grade, I met my very first pen-pal in a hotel pool during a weekend-long competitive piano competition. I wrote my very first letter to Jason on the long car ride home from Houston that weekend. Through the years, hand-written letters turned into emails and then into AOL instant messages, and we saw each other every summer at the piano conference. Our worlds changed when we realized we only lived 2.5 hours apart. Today, he’s the first boy I ever loved and my longest-time friend. Tonight I’m sitting at the table with Evie as she writes a letter to her pen pal in Texas in English and another to a pen pal in southern Italy in Italian. I can’t help but wonder how these friendships will evolve over the years, and I can only hope that they’ll bring her as much joy as mine did and still does.
When you drop the Mother’s Day treats on the ground and your own cupcake is the only casualty, you might taste the icing on the mat anyway, yell “At least it wasn’t YOUR cupcake!” and storm off in a huff to your room.
Like father like daughter. Any guesses who this family roots for?
Views so spectacular you have to stop and catch your breath.…… . . . . . . . . #friuliveneziagiulia #fvg #fvg_love #somewhere_fvg #igersfvg #loves_friuliveneziagiulia #fvglive #igfriends_friuli #vivoFVG #discoverFVG #thehub_fvg #italophilia #igersitalia #igfriends_italy
Seriously though. Why?
Christopher cooked salmon and bok choy for dinner tonight. 2 out of 3 people were excited about it.
When your ant infestation (#antfestation) needs a soundtrack and that soundtrack consists entirely of harmonica jams played by a possibly concussed 7 year old… Let’s just say this isn’t Christopher’s night. #thoselegstho 😍
When Google Translate tells you a pizza is topped with “little fluffs of bacon” along with sausage and potatoes, you know you have to try it. My pizza has pear, turkey, smoked duck, mushrooms, local cheese with truffle oil, and a cherry glaze. #gonztogetpizza
Evie met up with the wrong end of a rake in the school garden today and has a massive knot on her head to prove it. Apparently she’s not the only one. “At least I didn’t get whacked in the eye like Ceci.” Let today forever be known as #rakeawarenessday… Also, mean mom started giggling when she said she stepped on a rake and it whacked her in the face. “You mean you pulled a real life Mr. McGregor like in Peter Rabbit?” 😆 She didn’t think it was funny.

Stuck in traffic but I’m not mad about it
Future sunflowers. Perpetual cat.
