In bloom...

Our balcony is in full bloom! Gianni & I make a mean bowl of fettuccine, but we don't have much of a green thumb. This spring, my mother in law came down to Rome to help us out with our balcony. She keeps a gorgeous garden up at her villa in Umbria. With her help, we built flower beds and planted lots of plants (and herbs for our cooking class!). A few weeks ago they started flowering and now we especially love the view from our balcony. You can see some of the flowers in the photo here that beautifully frame the rooftop views of Rome. Thank you Ludovica for your help with this!
And thank you to Stacy for taking this photo last week and sharing it with us!
