Summer has been hectic and continues apace. Life in Abruzzo is full of gardening and animal tales, in addition to surfing the vast online Information Highway. Information comes in, is logged by my brain, digested and then is dutifully filed away in my memory bank somewhere.There are 5 blog posts I have read recently, which I would like to highlight here, because they have resonated with me in some particular way. The eyecatching titles did not disappoint. These posts are full of personal thoughts, and practical insights. I hope you enjoy reading them, too.

You keep an eye on that cat, she'll eat your chickens!
Oooh! I don't think so. She's too cute and tiny to be eating chickens!!
She tried to catch the bat that's been flying around our house the past 2 nights, but it was too fast and high up for her. Luckily it's now gone.
