Back in Vermont and unpacking after two glorious months in Ortigia, this photo reminds me of mornings at the cafe on the piazza.

It’s a bit of a blue day in Ortigia.

We walked into Siracusa.

and on the way back to Ortigia I realized that blue was the right color for today.

Because, our granddaughter Anneke

and her mom and dad are returning to Germany after spending two weeks with us in Ortigia.

I can see clearly now …

The rain is gone …

Gone are the obstacles in my way …

It’s gonna be a bright, bright sunshiny day.

When the sun is shining,  there are shadows.

In the piazza

On the way to the market this morning

A closer look

and closer still

It doesn’t take much to please me!
