Spring Showers (& Windstorms!) on the Amalfi Coast

The first day of Spring has arrived on the Amalfi Coast, but not in the much hoped for sunny way. It arrived in the form of a nasty, cold and just plain miserable rain and windstorm! The sunny morning I woke up to quickly disappeared when the north winds started blowing cold air down the mountains. I hope winter will soon make way for la primavera! In the meantime, head over to South of Rome where Karen has compiled a wonderful round-up called Bloggers South of Rome Welcome Spring. It is a great post linking to springtime thoughts written by bloggers all over southern Italy and Sicily. What a wonderful way to spend the first day of la primavera! Grazie Karen for including Ciao Amalfi!

Buona primavera!

    We had wild winds here, too. We went into Basilicata for a half-day and encountered snow!

    Ciao Chuck! Grazie! I took that photo all they way down at the tip of the Amalfi Coast at least a month ago it seems. Spring has been teasing us!

    Ciao Valerie! I can’t believe you found snow in Basilicata! We woke up to snow on the tops of the mountains here on the Amalfi Coast, but it was too windy to snow where we live. It was cold enough to though!

A spectacular view of a truly spectacular place as A spectacular view of a truly spectacular place as I flew out of Naples yesterday morning. A little bit delayed due to Winter Storm Olive in the midwest, but I was greeted in central Nebraska by blue skies and flocks of Sandhill cranes and snow geese. “Oh, to love what is lovely” as Mary Oliver wrote about that joyful experience of seeing snow geese golden in a sunny sky. ✨

Non Amalfi Coast question. Do you wake up in the m Non Amalfi Coast question. Do you wake up in the morning with music or a song in your head? I do nearly every morning and it’s curious to me what shows up. Usually it’s something I’ve been listening to, but sometimes it’s really random, like someone’s left the music room door slightly ajar in the brain. This morning it was a jaunty version of “Loch Lomond” from the 1940s sung by Maxine Sullivan. (You’d think that would be from the random category but I actually listened to it yesterday.) So that’s what was swinging about in my head as I took a walk early this morning. 🎶

Musing On The Roaring Ocean
by Robert Burns

Musing on the roaring ocean, 
Which divides my love and me; 
Wearying heav’n in warm devotion, 
For his weal where’er he be. 

Hope and Fear’s alternate billow 
Yielding late to Nature’s law, 
Whispering spirits round my pillow, 
Talk of him that’s far awa. 

Ye whom sorrow never wounded, 
Ye who never shed a tear, 
Care-untroubled, joy-surrounded, 
Gaudy day to you is dear. 

Gentle night, do thou befriend me, 
Downy sleep, the curtain draw; 
Spirits kind, again attend me, 
Talk of him that’s far awa!
