Friday Bliss #208 - Green Memory Mix from Florence

I spent a few days in Florence in the autumn of 2019 - before the pandemic, war in Ukraine 

and the energy crisis. It was an unforgettable vacation. I saw so much, visited art museums, 

churches and admired the city & the Arno, as my small apartment was near to Ponte Vecchio.

Because I’m narrowed down to the house right now, I needed something to lift up the spirits

 and was viewing my photos and thought to share some green views with you, too.

Please note the people on the street at the low part of the photo. The wall was very high. 

How on earth they are able to cut the grass on a slope steep like this!

Here at home Sedum Herbstfreude is blushing. This is a plant that tolerates every draught!

Otherwise the garden is a sad sight - it is so dry that many perennials are drooping their leaves. 

I wonder how many plants will be lost due to the draught of this summer.

Autumn is a book lover’s Christmas! There are constantly new books to be released 

by Finnish writers & publishers. The latest book read is a novel The Cook of Miss Stein 

by talented Leena Parkkinen. The story tells about the Paris of the 1930s, Gertrude Stein, 

Alice B. Toklas and their Finnish cook Margit. The lovestory of Stein and Toklas was brave

at the time when homosexuality was a crime.
