First Day of Summer

I spent all morning trimming the "Sauce Lauriel" or bay tree. I have two more of these to do in the garden. There is still one spike sticking up from the meter the trees have grown this year. I will undoubledly have to get the ladder.

....a simple lunch today of penne mixed with fresh chopped mint from the garden, broad beans (favas) cooked till tender and mixed with olive oil, garlic and big dollops of fresh ricotta. In France you can eat really well , very inexpensively if you think about it ahead of time and eat in season. The favas and mint are summer fare. It was bliss sitting on the terrace. So far this June we are graced with a little breeze.
