Sherbet met a man named after Saint Francis of Assisi

Here I am looking very proud to have made another new friend. This kind man was called Francesco after Saint Francis of Assisi, in fact he was born just down the road from this place which is called the Hermitage.  ( I must tell you that I did not believe he was really named after Saint Francis, but he was !!) It is where Saint Francis came to pray and to find peace . This nice man has worked here, just outside the Hermitage gates with his gift shop and café for 50 years and he seemed to enjoy meeting me .
 Oh how blessed I am to have met so many new friends in Assisi and guess what ? Not one of them abducted me . I felt very safe and protected all of the time in this friendly country. Love from Sherbetx

Sherbet Sheep has lots of froggy friends

Today, I am going to introduce you to all the frogs in my garden pond. They love to sit on their very own water lily pad and they love to jump around. They also love to play with their dragonfly friends. I hope my rescued dragonfly has settled back at her pond again. Here is a picture of my froggy friends. They do all look a bit the same but I will tell you their names and see if you can guess which is which. In the picture you can see  Freddy and his wife Freda, Florence and her friend Felicity, Francesco and his friend Fernando, Fabian and his friend Freda  and Flora and her friend Fern. By the way, did you know that the meaning of Fabian is the bean grower  Oh, so that is why he always watches me when I plant my beans !
