love thursday: too many flowers are never enough

It’s spring, and flowers are most definitely in bloom in the blogosphere.

Cherrye and Christina recently posted lovely photos of flowers they received; Alexandra shared a photo of gorgeous tulips that were waiting for her when she arrived in Holland. I’m sure there are many more floating around out there that I’m neglecting to link to–if you know of some, do share them in the comments. I love flower photos!

Turns out that not even my doggie is left out. You remember Helen, the flower-giving girl I’ve written about before?

Here’s Helen giving Luna a wonderful bouquet:


FYI, because Helen is so dedicated to her flower delivery, it took her 15 minutes to scour the piazza to find all different colors of flowers.

As always, click to enlarge the photos for a better view.

Happy Love Thursday everyone!

    Luna looks quite elegant, if I do so say so myself.

    All of the flowers that bloomed in front of my apartment during our brief clement weather streak have since died πŸ™ .

    Boo to Ohio and it’s indecisive weather patterns.

    Spring cannot come soon enough for me. It was snowing here again this morning. Aaarrrgghhhh!!! I am glad to hear that it will be spring when I arrive in Italy next week. If you are looking for a breath of spring, check out my Blog for some pictures from my Aunt’s garden last summer.

    Lovely posts, the last few days, songatrice. Sorry I have not been around. Your blog always makes me happy.

    I especially loved the post-Easter post and the wonderful images you took. I absolutely adored the bocce shot from above and the three arms extended, pointing. That made me giggle. Hard.

    I saw your sign over the McD burger, but trust me. – NOTHING compares to the wonderful food cooked in Italy. I was there last fall and the food was sooooo excellent. My sister and I are still trying to replicate what we ate and haven’t been able to yet.

    Good morning! I’ve been slowly and thoroughly exploring your blog. Just finished reading your expat interview. Loved it and heard the echo of many of my son’s experiences when he lived in Rome for four months.

    It’s been a while since she last posted on expats too.
