Buon anno! and Happy Thanksgiving!

Well, I did have quite the Thanksgiving blog post planned but then Thanksgiving passed without any fanfare (OK, I forgot about it- we are in Italy, kids go to school and my brothers forgot to call me) and it seemed silly to post a post-Thanksgiving gush. So here is the abbreviated version...
I am very thankful for many, many things: I have a lovely house in a beautiful area of the world, I am healthy, love my work and am very fortunate to have a husband, a son, an enormous extended family and 4 domestic pets that I love. I also have fantastic friends, both long-term and recent. I am blessed to have what I need and nature around me.
Oh, and I live in the country that produces the most fabulous wine and creates the most delicious food dishes in the world!

Fontona?

Where's Fontona? Fontona is a small village between Monterosso al Mare and Levanto, Italy. After living for 18 years in the historic center of Monterosso in the Cinque Terre, we decided to pack up and move to the countryside. We are less than 15 minutes from the main piazza of Monterosso but far away from the crowds.
Not much goes on in Fontona, Mass on Sundays and sometimes the Boy Scout troop hikes by. We are content to wait for the spring violets, spot our resident hawks and decide what to make for dinner.
