read, that means study some new tour to trek!I found two.they are perfect for Nordic walking, so I think I will ask my Nordic group to join mein these ones. :-Dthis is the beautiful book of Monte Baldo, Giorgio and Michele has writtenand also given me (Giorgio is a dear friend)I also made some order among the primroses Gokki (daughter n°3) and Giovanni(almost-son n°5) has given us on our wedding anniversary.I must admit I don't like primroses very much, I think they are a little to colorfull, to vividit could be nice all white or all light yellow, like the wild ones.but no, Gokki and Giò brought me 15 primroses in almost 15 different colors. help! :-DDDanyway if you divid them there not that bad after all. the red ones put together
one pink one together with the Iberis sempervirens
one purple in the herb pot, only fennel but the chives will soon come
another pink one together with the parsley
the yellow one in the almost empty pot where the aster and ceratostigma was
and one in the yucca pot
the english ivy decoration was dry and old so I made a new onewith cherry laurel, myrtle, lavendel, rosemary, gray santolina, common box, and one last flower of the catalpa tree.
