The olive trees at the side of the house at sunset. It’s rained a lot, which is excellent, so the branches and leaves that we mulched with the tractor are settling into the mess of cut grass, all of it composting and enriching the soil in the coming spring months while we’re busy at the farm.

We’ve still got one greenhouse table to finish painting, a number of smaller repairs to get to at the farm, and have an appointment to prune the cypress trees along the driveway, which are looking wild and overgrown. We’ve also got fancy new labels for the tapenades to get printed, so that’s exciting as well.
