love thursday: afternoon in the giardino

You don’t have to take me on a trip around the world to make me happy; an afternoon in the garden with my P and my pooches will do just fine thankyouverymuch.

You’ve seen the girls playing in the greenery, and well they weren’t the only ones to enjoy the day. P was, for the most part, working, but I was busy snapping photos.

Some of my sexy worker bee, here with some sort of ghost hovering:

Admiring his work:

Taking a rest:

Giving Luna petties:

And then he begged me to stop:

But not before I got one of the two of us (minus some of his head–oops!):

Happy Love Thursday everyone!

I wish you many carefree afternoons with your loved ones.

P.S. I suppose the secret is out by now that I really don’t wear makeup all that often. Hope you’re not offended. Although it’s a bit catty and not at all in the Love Thursday spirit to point you to photos of celebrities without makeup, I’m doing it anyway: Caught without makeup. Enjoy!

    Ahh the perfect afternoon, the two of you look so content.
    Like you, since I came to Italy make up has gone down the tubes. I’m ok with that though.

    Hah, I’m definitely OK with it too Shirley :) Nice to “see” you!

    Ok, I am SO the exception to the rule here. I don’t even go to the market without a bit of foundation. Geez. Wouldn’t want to frighten the poor people picking out their own limes and lemons. :)

    But I am a bit of a lip balm addict & you’ve got to try the BEST lip balm ever. I tell everyone. I’m such a spokeswoman for products I love. :) It’s Rosebud Strawberry Lip Balm and Moisturizer. Put it on your lips, your cuticles, the random ouchie. You can probably order it from Sephora and have it delivered to you. But if you can’t, email me & I’ll mail you one. You’ll adore it. Promise.

    And as long as we’re asking questions, how do you feel about marriage?

    Too funny Chel…I’m imagining lemons and limes flying all over the place ;) I don’t think you’re the exception in general–just of those who have commented here ;) Anyway we do have a Sephora somewhat nearby, so I’ll have a look. I have to say though that sometimes I’m slightly allergic to rose-scented stuff, so perhaps there’s another similar one without rosebud?

    EDIT: Was so excited about the lip balm, I forgot to address that other question…definitely deserves a post though ;)

    Nnnnooo. Rosebud is the brand name. They have one that probably smells like roses, but I hate rose scents. This one smells like STRAWBERRIES. Yummy. And I swear, it’s the perfect lip balm.

    Chel’s last blog post..There Are No Stupid Questions …

    Good to know! Will definitely look for it :)

    Viva Italia! You look stunning and your life a tad idyllic ;D

    Aw thank you…there are many idyllic parts of my life here indeed (and some that are just everyday blah too, but hey, balance is good) :D

    You look gorgeous. And your garden looks awesome. Dunno how you keep it like that with pooches though – my pooch in the singular has turned our backyard into one big collection of puppy toys and bones :P

    Haha, the trick is that our dogs don’t *usually* play there…the set-up is a bit unique here in that garden spaces aren’t usually attached to houses, so our dogs have a different place to play other than where our veggies grow :D
