Chinese New Year

Happy Chinese New Year!!  What Chinese zodiac are you?  I found these zodiac descriptions to be very accurate–I’m the year of the Rooster and Luca is a Tiger.

Here in Italy it’s Carnival season–confetti in the streets, bugie (little squares of fried dough sometimes filled with jam or nutella) in the pastry shops…

The weather man predicted snow for today, but it doesn’t look like it’s actually going to precipitate–we haven’t had ANY snow at all here; the grass is green!
