Oh, it's so cool to see all this!

Nah, seriously. We're famous for onions. And it's that bad you can smell the onions throughout the whole village on some days (depending on the wind). Sometimes you open a window to let fresh air in, and you instantly get hungry because the air smells so much like onions .

Mmmm....  Onions. ... I love onions!

I think I'm the only Italian who hates onions......

I love onions, shallots and garlic... I think I really like strong flavors in general.

Probably. But nobody cares, since we don't notice it

We have lots of wild onions around here. Sometimes when I'm driving out in the country I can smell them in the air. And lots of people don't know it, but Indiana is watermelon country. Watermelons and many different kinds of cantaloupes too. We have huge fields of them, as far as the eye can see in every direction. And during this time of the year when they are ready to be picked, you can smell the watermelon and cantaloupes in the air. The air smells sweet with the scent of melons.

Right now the farmers are beginning to harvest them, and there are many road side stands where you can buy them fresh off the vine. And the price is much lower too because you're buying them directly from the farmer, there by cutting out the middle man and the grocery store mark-ups.

David, that sounds and is good news!

I wish I could see that! I used to do so daily, when I went to an orchard to create my paintings, and I saw all those plants, trees... fruits, legumes, vegetables, growing! There were even horses, chickens and chicks, dogs, cats, etc., there ! And people came for afar or a bit away and locally to purchase fresh foods in that small store on that land!

So much joy to see arable earth land cultivated!

But now shopping centres with imported foods from very far, are being build on many did you know ? That scares me, a lot!

Bonjour,
au revoir,
hugs!

What a difference a day makes! It turned all autumny yesterday and my daughter even had to cover up her tomatoes overnight! Raining today. And my son started school last week. Summer is coming to an end too fast!
