I’ve arrived at Finca Hermosa outside of the town of Sóller, on the island of Mallorca, where we’ll be staying with friends for a week. I am mesmerized by the lovely views from my room, the dramatic Serra de Tramuntana mountains encircle the villa, the hills are covered with mix of olive trees, carob trees and brush.
Buckets of bougainvillea are pouring down the walls of this ancient farmhouse,
and pots of geraniums soften the stone walls and accent to the views.
The background sounds remind me I am somewhere special. I love the constant, gentle clanging of the bells on each of the sheep that graze on the property; the frantic screech of cicadas; and the occasional buzz of a scooter climbing the winding road on the other side of the valley.
I’m not sure if I will be writing posts from my room, or from the dining area above the house;
the view is stupendous and there is usually a pleasant breeze.
Or maybe I’ll write a little from the courtyard. It’s filled with lush green plants and flowers {someone delivered a crate of lemons to our door the first day ~ my kind of welcome!}
This bench could be a welcome retreat from the scorching sun.
There is also the little sitting area outside the garden apartment, that would be a cool and quiet place to write.
No, I’m not quite sure where I will be writing posts this week. But I promise, I will take the time to put my feet up and share plenty of notions and visions from Mallorca.
OH MY!!!
How beautiful!
And how I would love to be there!
