Abundance


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.

  3. 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
