June in southeastern Sicily.
The oregano is drying in the sun.
Waiting for figs,
The first tomatoes are beginning to ripen. They like the real sun.
Carob trees are heavy with fruit. We use to say they are in llove.
Pears are growing slowly.
Olive trees are preparing for another season. Sounds like a good one.
Most of what we do starts here — long before recipes, long before the table.
This is the time of year when the landscape begins to reveal what it has been preparing for months. And here we are 😀
