Such a sweet find! And those murals are just fantastic – any idea when they were done? menehune (1 down, 2 more to go – Phillys have their work cut out for them. BUT it’s been done in the past:-))

menehune, I would guess when the church was built. Well, we all know how the WS ended this year. I am now counting the number of days til truck day!
Marta, I think you missed my garden posts. I posted them in October.
Anne & Kathy, happy to share my photos Santa Caterina with you :)
