Someone, please stop me!
Last week I couldn't stop painting.
This week I can't stop canning.
Our garden is overflowing with produce.
Some of it will have to wait till we get back from Europe.
Our champagne grapes have produced my very special
Champagne Grape Jelly.
We have a bumper crop this year.
The rest will have to become "Spätlese"
Paris, Soprabolzano, Deruta and all places in between are calling.
We will be there in a few days.

Enjoy your trip. I hope the weather is warm and sunny like it has been here the last few days.
ReplyDeleteWhat a glory.
ReplyDeleteHow can you bear to leave it all at this time :-)
You are truly living in Paradise, with God's bounty from above growing there so magnificently - I would love to learn the whole canning process. Too bad you don't sell these preserves on Etsy, but I know, shipping is crazy. I would love some, though. Have a wonderful, safe trip. I can't wait to hear all about it and see your photos. Arrivederci, xo
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful trip — I'll look forward to seeing your photographs and vicariously traveling with you — Bon Voyage!
ReplyDeleteOh, no, you can't stop! You must never stop! Creating, that is. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful, abundant life you and Gene have.
Have a glorious time on your trip. Has it been a year already?? xoxo – g
