corner view :: what makes you happy

The fact that we have a mere 23 days until summer break...that makes me a very happy woman. That my sister and her family will be here in a little over a month brings nothing but HAPPINESS. The spring in Italy, the tent we just bought, the fact that my daughter has her last geography test of the school year today, the local cherries, the exciting future of my beloved students who are soon to be graduates, the card that arrived from my parents yesterday, finally beginning Flora and Ulysses with Young One last night...happy, Happy, HAPPY.

 

But this little garden patch that we started in April and that is currently thriving...that is undoubtedly topping my happiness charts!

corner view :: small things

Some rather promising small things are currently happening in our little garden behind the house. We have four varieties of tomatoes this year after taking a couple of years off from growing anything besides basil for our pesto habit. I think we'll be up to our ears in pomodori if things go well, and I couldn't be happier than to have that potential problem: tomatoes for breakfast, tomatoes for lunch, tomatoes for dinner, snack time tomatoes, insalata caprese, bruschetta, tomato and mayo sandwiches (my Granda's fav), tomatoes with cucumbers, tomato soup, cold pasta with tomatoes, salsa, BLT, tomatoes with tuna, tomato sauce...neither of us has ever met a homegrown tomato we didn't like. Small things like this do bring me joy. I hope they survive the rest of this chilly spring!
