Sabrina,
Your new bed looks great! You are not kidding about having clay soil! Wow, that sure looks sticky. You can start a side line business making "artifacts"
When I heard about the earthquake in Italy this morning, I looked up where you live on a map of Italy and see you are quite far north, so safely away from the devastation, thank goodness. I feel terrible for the people who have lost their lives, families who have lost loved ones and for the loss of those beautiful, old towns.
