Two week old lettuce sprouts have already started to show their own colors. See the red leaf emerging from the others?

Orange and strawberry blossoms
The blossoms on the orange tree are starting and sun seeking strawberries are beginning to form
nasturtium in the garden
A brilliant orange nasturtium peeks out from its leaves. By the way these leaves are excellent serving platters for crab cakes.

Orvieto wine, Yipee!
Ah yes, there is an Orvieto wine. I found this bottle of wine at Whole Foods last week and couldn't resist. It was a mild table wine but quite tasty. It was a good complement to the salmon pasta I had for dinner. Little things like this help me get excited for my trip in May.

Italy in May
I am so excited to say that I am going to Italy in May to join a sketching and watercolor week long class in Orvieto, Umbria with my teacher and friend Jane LaFazio. I am brushing up on some Italian (from my iPhone app) and studying with prep list from the Adventures in Italy tour company who organized this awesome trip. We artists and artists in training will be staying in a converted convent that just happens to be next to a vineyard up on this hilltop city that dates back hundreds of years. The trip is full enough for definitive planning but if anyone would like to join me I would love for you to come along.
