I really do get my days confused now! If I didn’t have my iPad I don’t know what I’d do! We had our Italian class today. It is one of the only anchors to an otherwise totally random existence.

Weather is warming up again. Yesterday I planted my plants. Very nice to have them cheering up our space outside.

I severely cut back this lemon tree this winter. The problem is the trunk is bent and skewed making it unbalanced when it gets a lot of fruit. So I am going to keep the new leaves from growing on one side so I can encourage new growth the other way. We will see how that works. Otherwise I may have to get a new tree. I can probably re-home this one.

Weekend coming up. Starting last week we decided to make Friday pizza night. It kind of adds a little something different to the weekend.
Stay safe inside everyone… 🌈 Andrà tutto bene…
