Harvest Play Time

Time to go outside!

The cleaning will wait. The laundry will wait. The seasons will not.

Enjoy the fall weather while you can (at least in the northern hemisphere). For those of you experiencing spring, can you smell the hyacinths yet? We're smelling the scent of crushed leaves under our feet and the first wood fires in our fireplaces.

This lovely stone relief harvest girl is part of a building front in Barcelona. 

I'll be taking you there next week- care to join me?

Enjoy the late summer day!

Even with most folks back to work or school, it sure is nice to come home at the end of the day and have the lovely weather greet us. I don't know about you, but I am harvesting away right now. The tomatoes are in full force, the carrots are plumping out (first time growing for me) and the broccoli is sending out its side shoots.

What are you harvesting this week in your garden?

The olives are ready

It's that time of year again...

Be they green or black, their oil is a mainstay of our cuisine.

Let the harvest begin!
