Garden magic. Photo from Aspire Magazine. Here is LINK.

From the last issue of Aspire, my Dinner Guest conversation with Lucia Panzetta, landscape designer from a small village in northern Italy. Our timing was funny, because I'd email my Qs to Lucia in the evening [Italy is 6 hours ahead, so she was sleeping] and she sent her answers back the next morning, when I was snoozing.

I am in awe of her command of the English language. If a reporter sent me interview questions in a foreign language, I would be at a loss.

Anyway, her garden designs are soothing and beautiful.

7. Just got a new 10-class card for Yoga Montclair. Flash sale! Instead of paying $22 per class to drop in, I last got a 10-class card for $170. But with 48-hour flash sale, it was $144.50. Glad!
