I find I’m more aware of the sunlight in the winter, simply because there is less of it. Days are shorter and here in the New York City region, we tend to get a heavy dose of overcast weather from November through February. So, when we get a blast of sunshine, or simply non-overcast light, we notice. We celebrate, if only within our souls for the few minutes it lasts!

Well, I certainly wasn’t expecting to see snow this morning when I woke up, but there it is. They may have mentioned it on the news last night but I don’t really pay attention to all of that chatter. Though I must admit, they seem to have been right on the past few snowstorms they’ve predicted.
Being that it’s December 31, I can’t help but think of all those people lining up in Times Square, in the snow. I believe they need to be there right around now (2pm or so) and that they won’t be able to move out of the area, even to go to the bathroom, until after the ball drops.

The Palio of Siena will be run on August 16. In honor of that day, when the center of this Tuscan city is filled with a roaring crowd entranced by the medieval horse racing ritual, I bring you photos of my visit two years ago. Be sure to scroll all the way down for the best photos of all.
This is a photo of the center of the city where the horse race is run.
This is famous Siena…with beautiful earth hues of brown….
One should keep in mind that watermelon is in season in Italy in July and August….and it’s delicious.
We came upon this very sweet cat during our stroll through Siena. He really wanted to come out and join us.

He really did.

I am not sure how many cats are in this photo. But I think these were the only creatures in Siena who were not concerned about the Palio, which is a true obsession here.
The end.

It’s Saturday, which means it’s Cute Cat Video Day. This is a real cat and he’s mine.
