Most of the year I go to the kitchen to look for a snack, but these days all I have to do is walk out the door! Little compares to the feeling I get from eating fruit right off the trees - trees that I lovingly nurture, prune, feed, and water all year. Harvest time offers a treasured insight into how simple life really is if I just slow down enough to notice.
Summer was busy this year. We met some wonderful vegan people from all over the world, as far as California, Vancouver, and Australia, and as close as England, who came to discover Provence and enjoy a bit of gourmet vegan cuisine in our little corner of paradise.
The kids went back to school today, meaning that our days are about to become more structured again. Finished the lazy mornings, three o'clock lunches, and late night swims in the pool - until next year, that is!
