I am so excited. So very excited!
I just discovered that Pergolas originated in Italy. Pergolas with their draping grapevines and tiny lights and patio dining and ambient music. Can’t you just feel the breeze wafting the aroma of a great Merlot in your direction?
And I just discovered that Italy actually has a desert. Deserto di Accona. An arid, white, sandy desert.
Do you have any idea what this means?
It is so very possible for me to combine my love of Italy with my reality of the desert, and make it work! Pergolas, herbs, rockscaping, cacti, skyrockets, and shrubs.
Of course, this opens up so many new wonderful ideas, that I just had to create a new Pinterest Board for it! I’m so thankful to have an immediate place to secure photos of inspiring ideas.
How do you landscape, and where do you get your inspiration from?

A few days ago, I wrote 12 Wishes of Christmas, detailing my desires for the world. A friend challenged me to come with 12 wishes for myself, and to be quite honest, it’s a little hard to be that selfish.
But I’m gonna give it a try. So, my Fairy Godmother, are you reading? Here goes…
1. I wish I was completely healthy all the time: physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually.
2. I wish I was completely debt free, and would always remain so.
3. I wish I had a house in upstate New York with caretakers.
4. I wish I had a house in Italy with caretakers.
5. I wish I was happily married to George Clooney.
6. I wish I wrote a masterpiece, award-winning story that became a movie that George starred in.
7. I wish I had a horse farm and knew how to ride them.
8. I wish I was more successful at cooking so I could have my own cooking show.
9. I wish I had magical powers like reading minds and flying, but only when I want to use them.
10. I wish I was braver.
11. I wish I didn’t have to sleep, so I could spend more time writing and cooking and cleaning and having fun.
12. I wish I would Win the Lottery so I could follow through with that list and still be completely indulgent without feeling guilty.
