If you wander around in the back, looking for the sheep and goats and cows, eventually you stumble upon a tiny cottage with an extravagant herb garden out front. Inside, on the ground floor, an art room, a small library on herbal remedies, and beautifully displayed objects ~ baskets and gords and photos~ from the past. Upstairs (via ladder):
I couldn't help but think that that room had a grown up's sandbox in there. But that is the preschool teacher in me.
ReplyDeleteIt looks to be a truly sacred space.
My great aunt was a nun who lived at Villa Maria. We visited several times when I was a child and it always seemed so peaceful there. Much of what is shown in your pictures is new but the peace seems to be a constant.
ReplyDeleteCathy made me laugh.
ReplyDeleteI wish I had a room like that. Calming just to look at it.
