I still can't believe how beautiful it is here*

I took this photo a couple of weeks ago, looking from the village of Torno across Lake Como to Carate Urio and Moltrasio.  It was 60 degrees Fahrenheit--not bad for January! 

Ho fatto questa foto due settimane fa; e` una vista di Carate Urio e Moltrasio, da Torno.  16 Celsius--niente male per gennaio!

A few days after I took this photo the rain and fog moved in.  I couldn't even see the other side of the lake (I'll spare you a photo of that).

Alcuni giorni dopo ho fatto questa foto, sono arrivati la pioggia e la nebbia.  Allora, non ho potuto vedere l'altra riva del lago.

I've never lived in the mountains before, so the phenomenon of the sudden waterfall is new to me:  after a good heavy rain, waterfalls spring up everywhere, and
run for days.  And then, two days ago, snow--the first we've seen this winter.

Non ho niente abitato nelle montagne prima, quindi non ho conosciuto il fenomeno della cascata subita (dopo una pioggia...pesante?).  E poi, due giorni fa, la neve--la prima volta di questo inverno.

(Not a lot of snow, true, but it is there, if you look carefully.)

 

*Non credo ancora che bello e` qui.

That is truly beautiful. You're so lucky to live there! My in-laws live near Varese which is sort of close to Como, but I've only been to Como once - and only at night. We walked along the pier and were totally freaked out by the tons of tons of spiders in their webs along the railing...

Did you make that trip to Parma yet? If so, did you find the yarn shop?

I love knitting and I love learning languages. Your blog has some really nice pattern and it's the first one I have seen on the internet that is also written in Italian (I won't pretend I speak Italian, because I don't, but reading short Italian texts is a good way to practice your vocabulary a bit). By the way, I also find that Italy possesses an incredible charm and always brings out the romantic in me. :)

I meant to say, the first bilingual blog in English-Italian. There are surely a couple of Italian knitting blogs out there. :)
