Carciofi

I passed these disintegrating artichoke heads as I was raking leaves. This was the best of thirteen attempts.

Later as I started to fold up the olive net I noticed all this weird foam stuff on the grass - like that window frame foam. Looking it up it seems it’s a slime mould sometimes referred to as dog vomit mould. I’ll try and get a photo for you tomorrow. Brace.

The wind was north easterly, pleasantly brisk.

I swept of the roofs of the stables and wood store. If the walnut leaves were tobacco I’da been in clover, if you will.

I dug/dugged/did dig some potatoes up from the store. Despite thinking it was spring they looked pretty good.
