december in umbria |
Nature never said to me: Do not.
Still less did she say: Be rich.
Her cry to me was always: Be independent.
-Nicolas da Chamfort, Writer (1741-1794)
This week I have been painting furniture and touching up
some walls in a villa up in the hills in Umbria. It isn’t deep into nature but it still gives one the feeling
of peace and freedom and it is possible to get a little lost up there if you
don’t know your way.
umbria is all about olive trees |
man it is cold out there |
In the morning it was -1 C. and the fog was in deep. Inside it was warm compared to the bone chilling cold outside. I was working fast, yet I grabbed
a few moments to savor the view and the fog. I love the fog, as I have mentioned before. I promise to be redundant in this
blog (diario di design). I had
brought my beloved thermos of hot coffee – how cool is that, hot coffee, gray fog and silver-blue-green olive trees everywhere.
which way to go? |
Remember you can choose your path.
