Rain, Heavenly Rain

 Not much but it's a start; bringing with it cooler air. Perfect timing as we just finished planting and mulching the flower garden and Mikki put in her winter garden yesterday.

We just returned from lunch in San Daniele, home of prosciutto - I swear the meat melts in your mouth. Meals are served with a prix fixe menu and worth the hours drive - bread sticks, cheeses, mushrooms, antipastos. On the way I saw some of the Solar Farms - something of a controversy here in Italy because they take up valuable agricultural land and no one know what happens to the equipment once it's served it's usefulness. Mikki and I were laughing and remember our last evening in San Daniele; Franco and Philip formed the MTM club (Married to Morgans) with the password "SOS." When we arrived at the restaurant; there were no tables so we drove onto the centrale and walked to the castle.

Just as our food was served; it started pouring and our table was exactly under the space you see to the right. Giorgia quickly moved to the side with Kil  and Morgan and for the most part we stayed dry.

Well, I'm tired of fighting this Italian key board - almost every word has to be retyped. Enjoy the pictures.
