cicadas
from my windows today I heard cicadas/cigarras (really heard them)
Hoje ouvimos cigarras (thank you Carlos for the link!) em força das nossas janelas.
A Sara Aires e o Luís dizem que no Alentejo ouvem-se muito, mas eu nunca me esqueço que foi na Mata Nacional em Leiria (sítio lindo) que ouvi tantas. A praia de S. Pedro de Muel (lá perto) também é para mim uma das mais bonitas que conheço em Portugal. Relembram as praias do Cape Cod National Seashore (consideradas entre as melhores do mundo em revistas como Volta ao Mundo). Vejam porquê aqui.
Viva o verão!

So much to see and do it will take a lifetime for sure.
A great weekend with a visit from Sandra and a day with Fatima her mom and her children, Laura 2 and Vanni 5. My first swim in the ocean this year (actually, in two years!) as well. Oh, heaven. :)
more good things:
Discovering Olga and vice versa and her nice words about my blog and Portugal! Thank you, Olga.
My blog circulating in Russian crafting chat rooms initially because of rodilha workshop and now because of the dolls from Montemuro.
As minhas rodilhas algures na Rússia....
Noah arrived safely in my hometown of Boston all the way from Japan and then China.
Isabel´s grandmother´s blouse makes me want to have one for myself.
