My new house and studio in Tuscany

On my daily walk I pass by this olive farm that is for sale. The out buildings are all I want and need. I don't want the olive orchard and the huge building that must have been the pressing plant. I just want these two sexy little buildings. One I will live in and the other is my small studio.
The climate is so amazing here. I was walking in a long sleeve t-shirt today and sweating as I got to the top of Heartbreak Hill.
The air is so fresh and clean, the Mediterranean diet so fresh and clean and I think I have even had some impact on the students to leave their work fresh and clean.
News from home shows -20 and that four letter word- SNOW! I have vowed I will never ever again spend a winter in Canada. I don't ski, I don't snowmobile, I don't skate, I don't ice fish, I don't like snow. ..............
The lunch at La Meridiana is so amazing. Today, pasta with sausage, potato pancakes, veal cutlets, salad, wine, espresso and some lovely chocolate cakes.  So dinner in my apartment is really more like lunch at home- some fruit, some cheese, some vegetables and maybe a bit of sliced meat.
Today was grocery shopping day so the students bought a 5 litre box of vin ordinarie for 9 Euros or about $15. I think the wine is cheaper than the bottled water.  Life is good for those that know that life is good.

The main building- olive pressing and apartments

My future home.
