When we were out asparagussing we saw one olive grove with hanging bottle in the trees. I guess about one third of the trees had these bottles with what appeared to be clear liquid in them. I’ve been wondering why…
Asparagus season! Or, as Daisy would put it, the time of year when a perfectly good walk full of ball throwing opportunities is ruined by us looking for little green twiggy things. It hasn’t been a great start, but the…
We were commenting yesterday on the strange color of the sky. It was a yellowy orange color and it is the same today. The orange color was dust from the sahara. It rained a bit, but not enough to…
