this is the entrance to our house
what we see from the table on our porch, as we sit under the grape arbor. the orange tree (not shown here) is in bloom and the aroma is absolutely intoxicating! sigh.. We have harvested some of the lemons on the tree to the left of the porch. That tree is multi-tasking... ripe lemons and new blossoms! the flowers on the rose bushes are beginning to open up... gorgeous!! the typical bright blue sky has not been visible due to dust from a dust storm in Africa having been blown in over us by strong winds from the south!! there is a breeze from the north today which may remedy that. the sun is out tho, temp is in 60's. We have seen many of our friends and been welcomed warmly with hugs and kisses! lovely!
We will probably take a 2 year lease on this house. It is 80 to 100 years old and charming, tho kind of ... um.. rustic and plain in a lot of ways. I've taken photos throughout the house and will post some of them soon.
We are here and all is absolutely wonderful! we have free wireless connections at the taverna! so here we sit at Bloumosifi Taverna with a cold Mythos beer and internet!! Life is good!!

Sandy, your little piece of heaven looks idyllic. And the citrus blossoms, I can actually relate because this weekend, it was unusually hot here. In the early evening we sat on the patio and just enjoyed the birds and the garden and yes, you guessed it, the intoxicating perfume of the citrus blossoms from ours and our neighbors' orange and lemon trees. It just doesn't get any better! Have a wonderful trip.
What a treat! Thank you for taking us along with you!
Blessings,
Angi
