Winding Down

Today we started the 'getting ready to go home' routine. We brought out our suitcases and set them up to see how much room we have, or in my case, don't have. Bob has graciously offered to pack my bulky hand made Maltese sweater. I only have a new woolen poncho, six or eight scarves and a few knicky knacks. I didn't even buy much In the way of art supplies. Well, maybe a few pens, but they don't take up a lot of room.

I did a last load of laundry, taking advantage of the wind and intermittent sunshine for drying. It is a back and forth game of clothes pegging and picking items up off the patio, until we finally brought the rack inside to finish drying.

I wanted to make a thank you card for our landlord George. He has been so accommodating and a genuinely sweet person. He wanted to take us to his country property out on the cliffs near Dingli for a BBQ with his family but the weather and his days off just didn't cooperate. We have spent many late afternoons on the patio enjoying a glass of wine and the view. This is a card sketch of a picture I took on one of those days.

We toast our stay at Ta Kurun in Marsascala.

It doesn't really matter what the weather brings it always leaves a beautiful sky along the way. This view and the sounds from below will be imprinted on my mind forever.
