This was the full moon last night. Autumn.
Made orecchiette con salsicce e broccoli for dinner after planting strawberries along the wall in the garden. I wanted to make banana nut bread but all the nuts in the market were whole and in their shells, so being the lazy person I am, I'd rather drive to the COOP today and buy shelled ones. The other day I harvested some of my red table grapes, called uva fragola here, meaning strawberry grapes because they're so sweet, and took them to the hair burners (hair salon) and the kids who run my favorite caffe in town.
The cantina is almost renovated (ready to be filled with wine and wood for the winter), the vendemmia has almost finished, the olives will be harvested in late November. I found a well in the back of my cantina that dates back a few hundred years. Now, I have a neighbor who gives me the most wonderful red wine from his vineyards for less than three euro a bottle. Without the label it's about twenty euro cheaper than it would be with the label. I also give him back the twelve bottles to refill from his cantina at the vineyards every couple of weeks.
This was dawn this morning. Autumn.

Last night, a young couple next store, who'd been invited to visit the U.S. by guests of mine last week, said they'd love to go but their afraid of the "Nazi-like" regime there.
And it would be awful for them to be there for the October surprise which I believe will entail the U.S. initiating a major war in the Middle East by attacking Iran and Syria. Chi sa?
