Emerging Artists:Last Days of Summer
Yesterday I picked up a small olive tree to plant in the space between my neighbor’s driveway and ours. I don’t even like olives but the beautiful blue/green leaves are so calming and the natural design quality of an olive tree is divine. I may try making olive oil however…now that I can enjoy. ***Along [...]
