Sooooo Sardinia




Ok ok ok okzzzz......

I'm not too proud to say that it is entirely my fault for not keeping this up. Goodness gracious its been an incredible few months, and I cannonwaitto share the details of our time here, the people the countries he food, the trees the flowers the rivers and seas....I'm overwhelmed with gods goodness. Even though its been a while since I e updated this and we have been in many places in between where we are now, I am compelled to share wih you where we find ourselves at he moment. Right now ry and I are staying in Sardinia, near a town Muravera. We are with an outstanding family on there farm. The property we are on is no ordinary property....it is the farm of one of the biggest and by far the greatest distributors of Mirto. The company is Bresca Dorada, and we are now livin at their farm!!!!!! It is an organic large scale producer of liqueurs, jams, salts, and many varieties of sardinias Mirto. They distribute to different countries in the eu and are coming to Santa Monica next year. Right now as I'm typing this Ryan is makin wine with Paolo in their Cantina, I'm still shaking off the flour from makin pumpkin racioli his morning and the air smells sweet if her s because oh yeah, they specialize in the distillation of essential herbs and they make oils....hey, they make oils!!!!!!!!!! Already they have given us homemade malleleuca oil because I had a cut on my nose and they didn't waste time showing me their cache of oils. We have been clearing out there feilds of invasive trees, really strenuous good work, and in the afternoons we are able to ride our bikes or run the few miles to the sea where we swim and wash out cuts in the salty sea. 

    They are good people....with an amazing story. We are here and cannot understand how and why. We are the only couple that they have said yes to come to their property since they had a bad experience with some swedes and asked them to leave. For years they have said no to every single request that pours in every day....and we were welcomed. Hahahaha!!!!!!! Jesus!? Oh yeah. Later on this week we will distill herbs, make olive oil and travel to the middle of Sardinia to visit a shepherd and learn about his cheese. Guys....god saved some of the best for last and we cannot help but freak out a little that gods creation has been revealed to us in a new light. It is so complete, he gave us everything we would need within lacking. This family stewards the land and has learned from it, they are pupils of the soil and I am enammered. We are learning and we are falling in love with the completeness of gods provision.! Plants are our friends. 

And so is wine.

Anyway here are some photos and we will be home in a month!!!! Less than....

We love you all, we are soaking up what we long to pour out later.

Ciao pui tarde
