  1. The roses are getting a little wilted and hot from the heat. They look like I feel wehen it gets too hot.

  2. Hi Merisi:
    Thank you for the poem of the fig tree. I passed it on to a friend who's father was from Italy and his fig tree was his sweet remembrance of home. How touching.
    I love the neon flamingos as they are my favorite bird!!!
    The roses are "IT" as they show an earthiness and realness.

  3. Gelato is a good solution. :-) We made a point of having gelato every day that we were in Italy. Pineapple and coconut being one of my favorite combinations. Add passionfruit to that - and I'm in heaven!

    Hello, Merisi.

    When I check your blog, I feel like I am traveling the city for real.

  9. I heart the ivory rose - and all these delightful sights! And gelato - don't get me started. I discovered it when living in San Francisco - the best is in Little Italy - and have been on a quest ever since!

  16. Delicious walk. Such a civilised way to mingle with Summer... I think I might steal that "esteemed customer" idea. How curteous.I wonder if there would be anyone not to think I've gone nuts. Not that it'd matter!Thanks!

  19. If I may be so bold to make a small correction, they are actually rosy flamingoes.
