Abandoned Garden





Do you love an Abandoned Garden, we have one right out our window here in Spello.  The view from the window is magical because it doesn’t look like Italy it feels like some other place I have never been too.

Do you find that with gardens left alone you want to go and fix them up or just sit among the chaos of nature.  I find that when I look at the huge swaying palm trees I waver between wanting to trim the dead furans off and then the next moment I relish in the beauty of the neglect.   It is silly because my mind has battled with these thoughts all summer long.

 

There is always a sadness when a home is abandoned, we can’t help but wonder what happened?

The garden is build in back of the house but with a brick wall all around and thus the dampness of the garden is kept away from the walls of the house.  

There are 4 doors ways  that enter into the garden some even cross over this little alleyway between the house and garden.  See the pizza oven in the corner.

The side enterance to the house has this huge stone left there.  I first thought it was a worn down (aged) capital to a column, now after going to Pompei I wonder if it might have been something to prepare food on.  Here is a photo from Pompei.  Any ideas?

The INSANE part is here is the view from the front of the house.  The Medieval Towers (Torre di Properzio). The sunsets on them every night golden orange and sepia.

Here is the front of the house and the door another scene of beauty.

I love how the Oleander is reflected in our window.
