Only 10 a.m. and it has already been an action packed day. In fact I am ready for a nap. We got up at 6:00 because a certain friend said that he was going to pick us up sometime between 6 - 7 to go take pictures of sunflowers. At 7 we gave up and started walking. I finally after five years took a picture of this bench. One half is “E” for uninhabitable and the other half is “A” for completely undamaged by the earthquake.
Some gnomes were having fun in a wood fried pizza oven. I hope they move before their goose is cooked.
These are the bows people put on their doors if a baby boy or girl has been born in the family. The girl one is hanging on the cloth covering that is hung over a wooden door to keep it from weathering in the sun.
We passed a few fierce dogs. The biggest danger was to our ears and we sawone cute kitty.

The sunflowers were spectacular and I was glad we were forced to go do it.

If you buy an expresso to go, you will get a tiny styrofoam cup. If you buy a cappochino to go you will get a bigger styrofoam cup.
This is how you want your chips: crunchy and brave.
Then it was on to market. I remembered my camera and there were hardly any t-shirts worthy of photos. I also had a painting that I thought this woman wanted me to give her, but she did not want THAT painting. She wanted me to do one of her house. Fortunately for me, her house is directly across from a bench and I was feeling sad about giving up the painting that I thought she wanted.

The vegetables were photo worthy. Today people were buying trunk loads of tomatoes and a guy was selling 100 pound bags of potatoes. He had a hand truck so I think people would buy them and he would deliver them later.
Finally I went to the Tobbacci to buy some bus tickets to Sulmona.
This is one of the weirdest things I have ever seen for sale.
As we were walking home there were a few drops of rain and it is cloudy now, but so far the rain was nothing.
I do like this scene of the bicycle on the balcony.
The next event in this day is our neighbours coming for dinner.
Onion rings AGAIN. Sigh, when will this ever stop.

ReplyDeleteI absolutely love your posts! From fierce canines to brave chips, you certainly have a huge variety of experiences in one little town. Skulls were hugely popular here a few years ago. Are they just catching up? The sunflowers were definitely worthy of your excursion to see them. Mary W.
