Tempting Tuesday: Summer Yellows on the Amalfi Coast

 

It’s cold. It’s officially cold, and I’m not ready for it yet. For a few days it felt like we skipped right past autumn to winter. That’s no good! Temperatures across Italy have been well below the seasonal norm this past week as a nasty cold front swooped down from Russia. This has sent me back to my summer pictures with pleasure! Just looking at the vivid yellow and bright sunny days warmed me up inside. Here are some yellow-themed moments from life on the Amalfi Coast this summer  . . .

Can’t do yellow without including the bright yellow Baroque facade and atrium on the Chiesa della Madonna del Carmine that sits right on Sorrento’s Piazza Tasso. It always makes me smile!

Ravello was covered with beautiful pansies in early spring.

This could have gone with pinks last week, but I love how the yellow dress at the end just jumps out!

    Love the snap dragons and villa Rufolo pic. Just to think you can wander in all year round to see the gardens! I've never seen them in summer but I love the courtyard the best.

    Ciao Scintilla! I love that snapdragons grow wild here, and it's one of my favorite parts of early summer. You'll have to come see the Villa Rufolo and Villa Cimbrone gardens next summer!

    Ciao Anne! Yes, those bright colors cheered me up, too. We had a couple of days of sun, but it's back to the wind and the rain again. What a rainy autumn!

    Ciao Food Hunter! Thanks! Hope you can come back again soon!

Weekend ✨✨✨ in Amalfi. Weekend ✨✨✨ in Amalfi.
Last week I met a beautiful and kind woman who sha Last week I met a beautiful and kind woman who shared with me a little bit about her experience with breast cancer. It’s a topic that has been on my mind a great deal lately, as it is like clockwork every six months as I go through my usual round of check ups. She spoke so gently and simply about how when she looks back on the experience now she sees all the gifts that it brought her - something that hit me on a profound level. Gifts. 

I don’t know exactly why I’ve hung on to this little appointment card from Tuesday, June 15, 2021. It was for my first ultrasound where the breast cancer was found. It’s not exactly the sort of thing to be sentimental over. Looking at it today—three years later—and feeling very grateful for everything being clear and good after the latest tests, I thought of this song. This card is a little souvenir of a terrible year. But, after that recent conversation, I realized that I don’t look back at it that way anymore. Because it was also a colorful year in so many ways. Maybe I’ve hung onto it because I needed to realize that the biggest gift I can give myself is to remember the gifts. Thanks, Sally! 💙

What I love about June in Amalfi: the brilliant bo What I love about June in Amalfi: the brilliant bougainvillea against the deep blue sky, the screams of swifts swirling above the Cathedral early in the morning, the way the air is still a little cool before the sun rises over town, the rows of colorful beach umbrellas, the way the scent of our neighbor’s jasmine suddenly arrives inside our home, the return of friends who come in the summer, and warm walks along the sea after dark. 

I love having a birthday in June. But since I will be back in Nebraska with family for my birthday later this month (for the first time in years! 🎉), I’m making sure I really sit and notice everything I love about this month in Amalfi. And, yes, I’m one of those people who stretches out birthday celebrations for as long as possible! 💙
