The show we attended at the community theater in Monastero was really cool, All of the actors were disabled. Lucky for us there was not much talking, a musical. A violinist, guitar player, trumpet, and pianist accompanied each skit. It was really moving, also we all got a ribbon and tied them together that united the audience. Today we unloaded a huge dump truck full of wood, ranging from Aspen, Cherry, Maple, and Poplar. We worked all morning, while Fernanda made gnocchi! There was a pesto or red sauce option, then we had frittatas made with the garden greens. Of course, I had a large glass of wine to swallow it all down. This afternoon Paula, dill and I had a tedious job of weeding around all the baby hazelnut trees.....on a steep slope. The nice thing about the work here is Paula or Sergio are alwaysdour there with us. I feel like the job is meaningful and vital that it gets done because they are out there sweating with us. Growing everywhere are elderberries, so fernanda has made elderberry syrup (it is made with the flower, before it fruits). the youngest daughter, nicoletta is a sugar addict so she fills her glass half full with it and then adds a touch of water.
