Cincincincilla, mom!

A year has passed since your big party, which is still the talk of the town, and now you’re deep into the 80’s, as your friend friendlily noted.

Not an easy thing to believe, right? No wonder the waiter at your party last year thought we were all joking. Just look at you!

Below are some memories from the past year in the first gallery and some recent flowery moments for your ikebana in the second.

Happy birthday, mom, and keep having them! I’m looking forward to the rap festival, promised for your next round number.

You and flowers go together well. This was in Torri, from my list.

I can’t believe it’s been a year! “Meeeetaaaa!”

Your brother played a HUGE part in the party. 😀

I’d say this was two years ago, not just one. Amore is pleased because he set my photos up nicely for you.

Piran Power couple!

From your recent visit among poppies.

Your friend.

Even though he’s sometimes hard to handle. Must be a reason we call him Bestia.

Here he is showing which flower is for you.

In Tuscania you were door-modelling.

We always have such fun. Until next time!

All of the photos in the second gallery below I took two days ago, just after I’d worried about the yellow colour surrounding me. See, it’s not so terrible. Here are views, fruit and flowers to make your birthday ikebana.

True, it is quite yellow, with darker undertones. “Aurelia” road passing.

But there is always something blooming. Like in a desert.

No, we have water, even though it’s salty, the one in the lake too. And yellow flowers.

We have yellow fruit too. Too bad this is not our tree. Look how many apricots!

This plant will give very special fruit and beverage to those with a good watering system.

We have the sea. The dog is not impressed.

And a lovely road from the beach. Last year the left side was full of sunflowers. This year they are somewhere else.

Oleanders are toxic in all their parts, apparently. No need to pick them, let’s just observe them from afar.

Here nobody cares if they are toxic. They are everywhere. So many different colours.

This one is my favourite. Bestia’s too.

Here you have it, your ikebana. And I love it how you keep bringing me books. ❤

In your words – since this is your work of art: I love you!

Your daughter with the closest to a grandson you’ll get from me. Sorry, he is a bit furry! 😀

And now play these, your favourite tunes, and dance with my father, and when I get there we’ll dance together as we do and bestia will jump on us as he does.

Cincincilla, and see you soon!
