| Well, nuts! Blair went to Castiglion Fiorentino for the week and Bernie and I were stuck here in Roccamalatina. It’s impossible to get work done where Berlino is present (he’s just TOO much fun), and the pressure is on to finish our renovation in CF before the 2 July. What I didn’t know is that they are having a Palio there on Sunday, and on Thursday, they started marching the horses into town. Blair awoke on Friday to hooves on the cobblestones, and a town arrayed with flags. He took pictures. |

| It wasn’t all bad here in Roccamalatina, actually. Every morning we went out for coffee and a walk. The dog is very gentle with me; he knows he has an old mother. He hangs in the backyard while I pack and paint, and mop my sweaty brow. |

 | Rolls of Hay Laurie Fox Pessemier Acrylic/canvas 10.5 x 16" 27 x 41cm 450.00 |
|
| I installed the pavilion out front and sat beneath its shade to paint the hay rolls gathered from our yard. The roses are currently “over the top” and I filled our big copper basin with their blooms. I picked them before a predicted thunderstorm, which actually knocked out our power, a challenge to restart. I was amazed at how much more difficult life was on my own and developed a greater appreciation for the “single mom”. Without a car. In 90+ degree weather. In the country. |

| By the time Friday rolled around, I wondered how people manage when one partner travels for work. After 42 years (our anniversary was 8 June), we have really gotten into a groove of delegated tasks. I hope I never have to wash a dish again. |

INVITING All Artists to present their Work: Paint, Literature, Crafts, Food....
Pessemier's Sunday Salon
Weekly on Sunday No Reservation Necessary
How it works: Bring a piece of your ART: that could be visual, like painting or printmaking; or literary, as in poetry or prose; or crafts, like metalwork or knitting; or food, or music...you get the picture. Something you made, or feel particularly inspired by. You have about 5 minutes to present, and we'll ooh, ahh, or answer questions you have. You can also come and see how we work before diving in. Just show up on Zoom at a minute or two before the hour. |
