We are back in beautiful Bagni di Lucca for a while. Autumn is beginning to show in Ponte a Serraglio.
The river is low as it usually is after summer with little rain.
The poor flowers on the bridge are hanging on. It is very difficult to keep them alive over the summer.
With Filippo’s wonderful work the garden at Casa Debbio has thrived and grown this year. The garden is winding down now, but grass has grown over the driveway up to the house, on the terrace below and around the driveway paths up to the house.
Some flowers are still looking good on the dry stone walls.
The peony plants and hydrangeas are starting to shut down but the camellias and rhododendrons are getting buds.
The weeping cherries have grown.
Tomatoes are growing again after the heat.
Capers are growing out of the walls.
Some flowers are still growing.
My flowers on the wall are fading, but still there.
There are always spectacular views from Casa Debbio.
Thank you Filippo for taking care of the garden so well. It gets better every year. This year we had lots of peaches, pears, persimmons, loquats and some figs. The olives have not done very well. Every year is different.
