Working the Farm

I would like to start with an advertisement. Anyone interested in visiting Tuscany and enjoying the country, Pondere Le Lapole is a fantastic Agritourisimo. Viola and Graeme are perfect hosts. Not only is their agritourisimo in a great location to Rome or Florence or Siena, it is surrounded by lush forest, olive orchards, grape vineyards, and natural hot springs. Viola can give you classes on how to make bread and Graeme can lead a biking trip through the countryside. Tell your friends!!

We spent most of the day working around the farm. After cleaning around the olive trees, we went looking for wild asparagus. As we were walking we came across wild pig footprints. Glad I did not see the pigs. There is a fox eyeing the chicken coop, so the poor chickens are stuck in th fence.

I finally took the walk to Pari. The "Remarkable Women" boot camp team would be very proud of me; I felt like I was back at boot camp running up the hill seven times. Not much to Pari!!!!

Tomorrow is back to making bread. I am given the task to start the oven fire in the morning. I am very concerned that I will do it wrong. It seems easy enough, but I am not confident of my ability to keep this fire going. I have explicit instructions... stay tuned tomorrow to see how I do.

Ciao for Now!
