Beautiful Fall Day


Well today was a beautiful fall day here. There is so much color everywhere! We went for a hike with the Moore's and Anna and I started collecting leaves...... well you can see where we went from there! A little influence from Andy Goldsworthy...... just google his name and you can see a lot of his images! After doing the little arrangements we made we really appreciate all of the work he goes through for his installations!




We were working on an arrangement and this little guy decided he wanted to be part of it too!




I hope you enjoyed the photos as much as we did taking them!

Cats of Italy


This is Sean AKA as "catmandoo" of Sorano!!!


This is Isabella. She greeted us just like this on the roof near our front door of the villa!


If the windows were open at night she would jump from roof ledge to roof ledge and come in and sleep with my sisters!


She was also our guide on our hike to the waterfall!


These are some of our neighbors Sean and Emma's cats... We called Sean "catmandoo of Sorano"



We were told that this cat wasn't doing well.... and wasn't eating...... well I guess she liked our cooking because she ate up a storm of it!
