Spring’s officially over! Or, Summer’s officially started! To me it makes no difference, as for many of those who live in a Mediterranean country, where it’s sunny and warm almost all throughout the year (except for the three months of the winter season). Obviously it gets hotter in Summer, but I appreciate more the coolness of Spring!
Yesterday, while updating my closet, I started reminiscing about my best moments of Spring 2014. So I went to my work space, opened iPhoto's on my Mac and went through all the photos from the latest albums. What can I say? I smiled, laughed, pondered on every moment my mind was replaying from my freak memory.
A life moment that I had the big pleasure to share with my family and will never be forgotten is when my beautiful Sister was given the title of "Dottoressa"! Just the day before, I accompanied my sister to the flower shop, where she ordered her graduation crown (In Italy, new graduates are crowned with a headpiece made of bay leaves, called Corona d'Alloro.) two weeks before. So excited, my sister was telling me how she had been waiting for this moment since my graduation: "Can't wait to see how my corona looks like. I asked them to make it just like yours, coz that's the way I like it!”.
As we arrived to the shop (not to mention we had to drive from our place for about an hour to reach it and it was raining endlessly), the floral assistant came forward and with a big smile on her face handed this miserable green and unpleasant crown to my sister. This was the most ridiculous and hilarious moment I have ever attended in my whole life. My sister’s reaction to this fact was C-R-A-Z-Y! She broke out into a furious Hulk! Luckily, I was there with her and as an antidote managed to calm her down a bit. The floral assistant was so embarrassed and sorrowful as she acknowledged it was her mistake for not reading the note taken by her boss on my sister’s order. As my sister went outside the shop to relax her nerves and make a phone call, I talked to the assistant and agreed we would together make a new corona with all the details my sister asked for.
End of the story? A wonderful full crown made of medium green bay leaves - some covered with gold sparkles-, a red silk ribbon, some little ladybirds and very small pinecones (obviously both are not real ones) scattered here and there, was tied by myself around my sister's head the day of her graduation...and her beautiful proud smile still lingers in my mind!
