Brunate overlooks Como, which lies on the shore of Lake Como some 500 metres below. For a short time in the late 12th century Brunate was an independent commune, but in 1240 it reverted to the suzerainty of Como. Como and Brunate are linked by a steep, narrow, winding road, and by the Como to Brunate funicular. Alessandro Volta lived in Brunate for a short period and the Bulgarian poet Pencho Slaveykov died in the town on 10 June 1912.

While it's been warm with lots of rain this past week, the flowering quince has gone nuts! The shrubs are covered in pink buds & blossoms. Chorus frogs are in a roar and Spring peepers are starting to chirp. And the blue hydrangeas are greening out too early as usual. And I stopped to talk to the Green anole sunning on the downspout ... turned his brown eyes blue ;-)
We've got a string of frosty nights ahead - the last 2 weeks of January are our coldest days of the year. North Georgia

The name of this (former) shop, "Möbel Elend," translates as 'Furniture Misery' - 'Misery' presumably being the family name of the erstwhile owners.

It was a very mild and sunny day. Roof top snow was melting all over. The patterns visible withing droplets is reflection of the rusty drain spout. Happy Day (;-D
