Lunchtime Walk

I work about 1 mile from my wife.  Everyday at lunch we meet each other halfway between our jobsites.  Then we head up into the hills.

Going through town we pass this Italien Gourmet shop called "Il Buon Appetito"


This is the view once we get through town.


I saw this tree and had to take a picture.  Denise called it the burning bush.

There is a place with a bunch of chickens and rabbits.  Look how long the name of the place is!

What are those rabbits doing?



All the grapes are picked from the vineyards and the leaves are falling off.  Check out the little church in the background.

Then we came across this herd of goats.  Is it a flock of goats, or does that only count for sheep?   The sign says that these are the "Passionate and Sportive Goats"  Check out the two boxing goats painted on the sign.

There are places like this all over the side of the mountain.  The called them "Grundstucks"  or Pieces of Ground.  People rent or own them and grow beggies, fruit trees, flowers, and sometimes they just sit there in litle wood huts.  Sometimes you see livestock like chickens, ponies and sometimes goats...like here!
On the way back down the hill we walked through town and saw this crooked old half-timbered barn.  Check it out. 


A fluffy cat watched us return to work!
My lunchtime walks with my wife are my favorite time of the day.
