My Life: Seasons in my Backyard 2008-2010

Hello! Today I wanted to tell you about one day in my everyday life, but I'll do more, I'll tell you about TWO YEARS, through the seasons passing in my micro backyard! You're invited at my place: welcome friends, hope you'll enjoy this little photo-jurney back in time! It will take us back at 2008 and it starts from today:

Our tiny house is in the heart of the historic city of Parma in Northern Italy, pretty city famous for food culture, music, lifestyle. We live in the less posh neighborood and the most beautiful in my opinion: here on "the other side" of the river you can find artists, foreigners, students, old lovely houses. We live in one of them, very very small, but with a precious micro "garden" that has been growing with us in the last 2 years.

I'm not very good at growing plants, but I like them a lot and we have several small flowers pots. I have to say that my orchid last autumn has really made me proud!

In summer it's nice to sit in the micro backyard, read a magazine, have a coffe or drink something cold, sometimes I have breakfast outside... This was our second summer here:
Isn't this tin bird cute? I got it in London and hung it last spring, it felt really appropriate!

This Winter 2009 we've had A LOT of snow here, too bad I didn't take pictures! But also last Winter 2008 it snowed some... Hope you'll excuse the mess and the drying rack... :)

I remember perfectly this was an happy moment, for no special reason, just happy. And I took this pic with my mobile phone, in a Autumn 2008 late afternoon (and - yes - I am a smoker... Very very bad, don't start!).

Here's our first Summer, sometimes dealing with unexpected guests... :)

Me and my boyfriend live here together since Spring 2008, can't believe it! Here below the first pictures, we still didn't have our stuff inside... We've had to overcome many problems and this little house of ours is for sure very very far from being perfect, but we love it nevertheless and I will always think about it with a happy smile on my face!

Thanks for your comment Lou and everybody!
PS: yeah the LV is my only serious designer bag, a present I got, and after 2 years it still rocks!
Oh, I so loved this. What I love most is that it doesn't matter the size of your yard it is what you do with it - and you have done an amazing job. Thanks for the tour. And thank you for commenting on my blog...your pictures are beautiful.

PS - I am so jealous that you are in Italy. My favorite spot in the world. Can't wait to get back one day!
