We spent our second day in Anghiari - a little hill town that looked cool in the travel guides. The drive up to the town was beautiful - we ere surrounded by fall colors during the drive through the hills. It was really weird for Italy to remind me of West Virginia but the morning's drive did.

What Would the Italians Do?
I received an email last night from one of my walnut growers and it didn't contain good news. His walnut crop this year is a bit behind schedule due to weather conditions earlier this year. He told me he is still willing to pick the green walnuts on St. John's Day but they will be even less ripe than "normal". He asked me if I still wanted them ( Read more... ) -
