Back to Life

There is a “dead” vine winding it’s way on the lattice outside the kitchen. For the past two weeks we’ve been feeding it the coffee dregs and grounds. Lo and behold, buds! It’s nice to know we’re giving something back and contributing in a positive way to life Italiano.

Unfortunately, our watering of the dead life on the front patios has contributed in a negative way to our neighbors below us! Yes…we showered them two days in a row and got a note on our door. We have to empty watering cans with the condensation from our air conditioning units in the rooms. It seemed logical to empty them into the large pots with dead vines. Oops.

Today I shall try to compose a note in Italian with my apologies. I’ll attach a photo of my work for your enjoyment.
