Babelfish Translator Strikes Again!

This  cooking Italian newsletter always looks so , well, Italian / cosmopolitan  when it arrives in my  email.Always reminds me
of my summer visit  to northwestern Italy ; the heat, gorgeous blue water , interesting people, and so much great food  & wine.
Once the Babelfish Online Translator gets done with it though:
New Sul number in newspaper stand… August, month of plums. Allied of muscles and boneses, they are one of the fruits richer than anti-oxidants.
The sapete that freshest they are those a little opaque ones, to prefer to those lucid ones? “The cook and the nutrizionista” of the August number give to the answer to this and others many others because on plums and susine.
The ice cream appeals to you. And this summer you want procurarvi all what it serves in order to taste it in family or with the friends. In the rubrica “cose& August house” two pages of coppette, spoons, teaspoons and cannucce, till the gelatiera last model, leave the embarrassment you of the choice alone.
If of summer loved to resolve the lunch with “insalatona”, in the number in newspaper stand eccone you are like nourishing antidote to the sultriness. From that of escape, papaia, mango, avocado, cicoria and finocchio to that of pollo roast, capsicum, grain, lemon and maggiorana, to that of fish sword, tomatoes, almonds and olives of Gaeta…
What??!

Gone In The Dead Of Night

This past Friday morning sitting on the front porch with my coffee , I  suddenly noticed with a start that  a bunch of my solar lights were gone. I asked Eddie if he moved some  to put batteries in, or  out back  and he said no.
Suddenly we realized after piecing the last few evenings together , that  they must have been stolen  the night before while we were sleeping.
 
He got mad, I got sad .
 
They come on at dusk with an array of colors  that pleases the eye  and lifts  my spirit  every night .
 
I discovered them orignally in those dark years after my husband's unsolved murder .
They adorned the  pool area in our back yard in Texas , I wrote  poetry  about the light play that was published .
Palm trees , water  and dancing lights  .
In Massachusetts  the contrast with the snow was gorgeous.
 
They've been an essential in my yard decorating schemes anywhere I 've lived  for at least five  to six  years now. 
 
The thief or thieves made away with thirteen lights in the dead of night.
I told my daughter  and she  asked with a worried tone .," Did they get the gnomes too ?"
 
I was like no hon , just the lights.
 
Tallied up  the cost  for their haul--round about  150  bucks.
 
They can't be pawned , not all of them are new.Some of them didn't come up with the stakes either so they can't stand them up.
Don't think there is an underground market for  hot solar lights.
 
I think someone was entranced  by the colors as I have always been , but  unlike me , made a five finger  discount decision  .
 
 
 Went in to the local police  made a statement today , and the Bolo went out locally, the next county  and  the next town over as well.
They are not your usual  run of the mill store bought lights  and will be highly  noticable if the  person decides to  display them..
 
Low crime area , so they take these thefts seriously.
 
I had a few left that needed some repairs, and now I am hesitant to put them out .
 
 I do so miss them  every night .
