die tage werden schon recht kurz, zu kurz fuer all die projekte draussen. Jon is working long after the sun is gone, he does have a very good eyesite, but.... 
so i try to get him in with some energy-food and a fire in the stove and a hot tea. the temperatures are not too bad for this time, that is what we hoped for- after all we are in ITALIA- no freezing and still nothing scary in the forecast. instead i got some little flowers today and will get them in the ground, and there is still a vage chance of red tomatoes. jede menge dicke gruene haengen on the vines. irgend jemand stiehlt die roten und laesst sie halb abgebissen liegen. i wonder who the little guy is who is eating our red tomatoes.
the hunters are very busy around here. it seems they can hunt everywhere they want. because the road ends here, they just park in the field next door and let there extremely excited dogs out. of course they just run around the house, sniff everywhere and i have my doubts my future chicken, i want to have, will survive that.
there is not very much left to shoot. the most go for the birds. the same ones that migrated from deutschland, -- look at the youtube how they catch them on the migrating routes -not very nice to look at-- where they are protected by law and admired for there insect eating and singing. i read it is better not to put up a feeder, so they do not get used to people, because the next one they see might just shoot them. this is very sad - i loved it soooo much to watch this colorful, elegant and free creatures. all the feeders will stay in the boxes. what a shame........i know the european law forbid the italian to shoot the most of the birds, but i went through the long site of birds what are not under this protection. how do they know what they are shooting at anyhow,- they will know it when it is dead on the ground-- a bit late.......
the colors of the fall are coming in our valley. the most fascinating tree is this persimmon / kaki tree. the fruits are totally different than the wild american ones, very juici and sweet - and NO bugs are bothering them. neighbors told us the trees lose all leaves and the fruits will turn bright orange. the trees look like decorated for the coming christmas. i will take a picture of that. right now they have the most prettiest red leaves and glow in the morning sun.
