The View from Il Loggino

Friday, November 25, 2005

Winter has started to impinge on autumn with a vengeance today, but before it does I want to record the beauty of fall here. If they ever get the heat turned on, I will be able to move into the top two floors of my home in Castiglion d'Orcia. Perhaps next week. Then I'll be able to post lots of pictures of the renovation, albeit with minimal interior decoration.

In the meantime, last weekend was perfect for the olive harvest and for glorious foliage.

I have been away from this blog for too long. But I have a lot of excuses not the least of which is that I was picking olives this past weekend. I have also been in Egypt during three weeks of this hiatus and I have been yelling at my contractor in Castiglion d'Orcia since my return. I wanted to move into the house on November 12, but they are behind and it will be at least another week or so before its habitable. And then I go to Australia for the holidays and won't return until March 1. But I will try to work on this blog while I'm staying with my sister in Oz. In the meantime, here's a pic.
