Today was a rough day. It started out with rain, so I was hoping to be able to stay in bed and read (I am trying to get over my cold). Unfortunately they found me and off to the olive groves to gather branches. Although it was overcast, it was still beautiful and I was glad that I went. Some of the trees in Italy are so beautiful and the flowers are unusual. You see wild flowers, including tulips, iris, etc. growing wild in the hillside. The picture is of one beautiful tree, but there are many like this.
I spent some time gathering wild asparagus. There are asparagus plants all over Italy. Afterwards I took a two hour nap.
Now the bad news……….In the afternoon I was helping to prepare for a meeting of the agricultural society. Pasqualino gave me a piece of bread to taste; it was hard white bread. My tooth fell out!!!!!! It is my eye tooth that I had hurt many years ago and had a root canal. Now what do I do? It is definitely in the front of my mouth. I have to determine whether to go for two weeks with a missing tooth or shorten my trip. I guess I should sleep on it. I definitely had not planned on shortening my trip; in fact, I was considering expanding it. I will let you know my decision tomorrow.
Ciao for now
