In the hills on October, 31st

A few images taken on October 31st in the hills (Itri, 90 km South from Rome). This time there weren't many olives in my mother's garden. So we couldn't make olive oil. 





 

We also enjoyed chestnuts cooked in the fireplace.




Lemon flowers were blooming and the surrounding vineyards began to change their colours.



I hope you will have a nice week!

One of my favorite things is to make chestnuts. My mother also makes her own olives. He can no longer eat the olives sold in the markets... And place of your mother is great:) Happy new week for you too.

To Mica and SzgnBsl:
Thanks for the appreciation, my friends!
Actually, olives sold by grocery clerks aren't so good as olives made on our own. In addition, we can choose to make olive in accordance with organic farming rules. As it is known, the problem may sometimes be the olive fruit fly, which is a phytophagous species, whose larvae feed on the fruit of olive trees.
Have a nice week :-)

how nice you mom has garden ,i see lots of olive here but may be they are still not enough to make oil .here olive oil is very expensive because of being imported product.

muy linda la casa de tu madre me dio ganas de castañas. Los viñedos y las flores de limón son muy lindas. Te mando un beso

How cozy with a good fire and lovely home. Olives are so expensive here and we can't get fresh ones like in your mother's garden. How luck you are. Ours are all bottled and imported mostly from your country!!
