Okay, so it's not exactly a farm, but as a certified card-carrying suburbanite, our home in Italy is the closest I've ever come to living on a farm. It's more like a really big lot with a huge orchard and garden at the back. Here are some random pictures of us playing around in our yard and the orchard/garden since we moved in in August.
The left picture is actually from a walk we took in the town but that is the mountain behind our village, I can't wait to see it snowcapped!
The top picture here is Rina's house, our sweet landlady, who the kids LOVE! She is constantly giving them candy and they are constantly giving her hugs! She's had Emily and I over for lunch a few times and just about killed me with sheer volumes of her delicious pasta!
Rina's son, Claudio, took me and the kids out to the orchard one day to shake the Hazelnut tree and collect what fell. They had a blast, but sadly don't actually like hazelnuts. They have enjoyed sitting on Rina's porch eating her apples and peaches and pears from the orchard. Claudio has spoiled us with tomatoes and grapes and cucumbers from the garden.
Top: The kids are over the moon at needing rain boots here and love a good rainy day when they get to wear them around! Emily posing in front of the giant hole in the ground that serves as a compost pile.
