Found in Tuscany: Green Flame
http://foundintuscany.blogspot.com/2011/12/green-flame.html
One year to build a house. One year to make a wine. One year to become totally Italian. Monday, December 26, 2011. I never cease to be fascinated with the way the silver-green boughs and leaves catch fire in the light and flicker in the wind. Olives trees are evergreens, and perhaps the original Christmas tree. And an ancient symbol of peace. That's why our favorite gift to friends and loved ones during the holiday season is oil from our own olives handpicked with care. Peace to all. Over a Tuscan Stove.

One year to build a house. One year to make a wine. One year to become totally Italian. Friday, October 23, 2009. Or: Toxic in Tuscany, Part II]. Horse killers, that's what they call them in Tuscany. People not allergic have died from their stings. They are big. And they're just behind vipers on the venom index. When he went up to our grove for a preliminary check, Giovanni saw them in the. The hollow bole of one tree. I knew exactly what. Once, while picking blackberries in the Pacific Northwest, I bump...

Literally "wall-makers"), the Brandini brothers, Paulo (far right) and Claudio (middle). We were waiting for the cement truck to arrive so we could pour and hand trowel our concrete floors "American style." More on that later. The Anthill is the german position Kirk Douglas and his suicide squad had to take in Kubrik's Paths of Glory, you'll recall.

Found in Tuscany: A Sense of Legacy

One year to build a house. One year to make a wine. One year to become totally Italian. Thursday, December 1, 2011. A Sense of Legacy. This shot is taken in the tiny piazza of our tiny village of Montisi. Sally, who took it, has pointed out the similarity in our hands. The guy with the dangerously slung sickle blade looks a lot like our builder, Claudio Brandini (left), in the eyes. But you be the judge. December 25, 2011 at 10:23 PM.

One year to build a house. One year to make a wine. One year to become totally Italian. Thursday, November 26, 2009. Just a feeling of gratitude to be healthy and warm and with friends. And that the house is mainly built. The fact is I am broke and unemployed and OK with that . for the moment. How did we get here, you ask? How did this great adventure in these difficult times begin? That answer I will serve up over the next several weeks. For now, a tavola! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Over a Tuscan Stove.

One year to build a house. One year to make a wine. One year to become totally Italian. Saturday, October 10, 2009. Depressed and elated at 5:00 AM, I am the only thing prowling the countryside. I feel like I've swallowed a black hole, or taken bad acid. Travel is a hell-of-a-drug; it leads me to do strange things. Is silver a color? It is so quiet my ears ring, all cicadas and calliopes and high-tension wires. I agree with Shelley who insisted moonlight. That is what I am doing, harvesting stone and bri...

One year to build a house. One year to make a wine. One year to become totally Italian. Saturday, November 14, 2009. The plumbers and electricians are all standing around waiting for me when I get there at 8:15 am on a gray, bone-damp day. It seems someone forgot to trench for the water and power lines to the solar panels. This is where Gorilla Italian kicks in. So the conversation goes something like this:. 8221; and “ traccia. 8221; (pipes and trench).]. Jack: Dove’ essatamento. Where it is exactly?

I get excited by it. Most people do around here. A few days ago, just as the olive season was getting underway, Talini, the beloved village miller, had a stroke. He is not expected to regain consciousness. Now, at the time of year his frantoio. Thursday, October 29, 2009. This little rake is about as technical as it olive ha...

Found in Tuscany: Independence

One year to build a house. One year to make a wine. One year to become totally Italian. Saturday, July 6, 2013. The locals tell us that having one of the only springs in our area makes us water independent. They say it isn't water, but gold. After refurbishing the catchment last year with Giovanni and his son Arnaldo, our farmer neighbors, the cool clear water flows at a refreshing 56 degrees Fahrenheit all year long.
