As the days shorten and the sun’s heat weakens, autumn colors and vistas are wrapping their arms around the ancient city of Cortona.
Zucchini flowers are at their end,

As are the tomatoes that have delighted all spring, summer and early fall.

Local olives are nearly ready to be picked, and after a trip to the local mill, become 100% Italian olive oil. Worth repeating – 100%!

In all directions, there is beauty in nature; vibrant colors are everywhere. Mid October showers us with 11 hours of daylight and a temperature usually in the 60s, just what one hopes for in the fall.
If you’ve been to Cortona, the views will beckon you to return. If not, join me for a stroll through the Parterre.

If you can’t join us in Cortona, I hope you make time to take in the beauty of fall – wherever your walks may take you.
