The Wild Cat and My Veggies

Last night before I left to meet a friend, I was singing in my apartment with the kitchen doors open.  I went to my room to grab my necklace and I heard a meow in the kitchen.


I was amazed that this cat had the courage to enter my kitchen.  Perhaps by the attraction of my singing.   I don't know what this means but I am hoping a sign of good luck.  New beginnings, new friends.  I haven't named my friend the cat, but since she runs every time I see her but is still persevering forward with her curiosity of my presence.  She isn't giving up on knowing the reason why I am here.   I am going to call her, Persey.   As though she is persevering towards a new adventure as she trys to get to know me.   Persey and I hopefully will be able to learn some new things from each other as the months pass on.

This morning, I forced myself out of bed at 9:00am so I could make it to the veggie stand outside my house.  I was served by a kind old lady asking me what I will use each vegetable for.  For example, che farai con la centriole? (what will you make with the cucumber?)  Insalata, I said.  Brava, she said. 

Here is what I purchased for a crazy low amount of Euro.


I love my neighborhood. Have I said that too many times already?  I don't care.  This is my life and I am grateful for the adventures I have experienced!!

I can't wait to go to the market again!!!!

YIPPPPEEE!!!!

a presto amici!!!
