Sicily as the weather changes






Its its funny time of year here...one minute hot...then hot and humid....then cloudy........then you hear thunder..then it pours from the heavens. Its quite lovely actually.....the unexpected. Mama can look at the sky and predict the weather......I am sure one day I will too.

It reminds me a lot of Scotland here. The sky and the clouds. What clouds we have here.....never saw clouds like this in California. Its pouring right now but its not cold.

Today was a day for lots of laundry lots of brushing up clumps of broken wall.....God I have never seen this much dust in my life. I love Pavone (our contractor) but what a mess he makes. Pavone has been taking off all the tile from around the base of the wall as we had to cut into the wall to renew new pipes for our new heating system....my Xmas gift from last year.

Now he is replacing the tile with the new ones we just paid $300 euro for..nothing is cheap here and I mean nothing. As we do this job we are finding lots of other things to do...add a sink upstairs on the top level of my house as this is he best time to do it....move my washer dryer from downstairs upstairs and add laundry sink next to the washer/dryer.....add extra faucets around the outside of the house for easy leaning with a hose....its never ending.
