aus mit sonne, es war ein herrlicher herbst, die schoensten farben und die luft so mellow. but that is history. we had the first NEVE / snow / schnee. the temperatur is around the freezing point and we are cold..... we were in deutschland for 5 days and got the car loaded up to the limit with 2 wood burning stoves/kaminofen/stufa di legno , shelves, a lot of german food and (i know it is crazy) at least 20 plants. some of my favorites of all time: small bamboo, wisteria, dutchman's pipe, climbing hydrangea!!! and fruit plants all on total sale 1 euro a piece. we could just not let that go. some organic fertilizer and a lot of seeds/bulbs. there is some time involved to get all this guys taken care off. we just need some sun to get me motivated..
it is already 1 month gone since my last input here.
there was the festa della mele rosa. an old apple from le marche what gets through "slow food" and the people here a promotion and of course
roasted castania with free fresh wine - a feast -
and than Jon
got his first italian machine : a tiller! and we could even till a spot at the neighbors and plant fava beans; in the first week of NOVEMBER, that is tradition here so we went with that.
i have to tell about our new friend Renzo from sarnano. we had some very nice meals with him (he is a local - even he spend a long time in canada and so we can easy talk with him) and he introduced us to some very nice people. - time is just flying when we visit with him. we had a meal with - was ist 8? courses of of bacalau/codfish in our neighbor village with a english/srilanca couple and a guy from new york and a local architect. we had a wonderful time eating through all this food.
we got our first 2 olive trees for our 2-year anniverseri. 2 kinds of eating olives with big fruits, might take a while before we can let others have some of these...
but we got some experience with harvesting olives, it seems it is the best way to tenderly koam through the thin branches - just like my mother did to me as a child with my long hair - hold with 1 hand tight and pull through with the other. works very good. the olives just roll down on the net in a big pile and later they will get squeezed and turn in wonderful olive oil. 
we got 20 liter of the most greenest oil i have ever seen, with the help from our closest neighbor right out of the mill where he worked 30 years . in the past the marchen olive oil -is said- is the best from italy.
