end of the summer

What I really like about summer is this kind of moments right before lunch, when everybody's late and is moving on preparing food soon.

There's this little window between the kitchen and the balcony where if you look through you can stay hours to observe people making things inside. And we pass dishes through this window to bring them outside faster.

Today we have someone grinding parsley for sweet peppers, all the way in a pan to make a perfect relish for spaghetti.

And mint milk... looking at a botanical mole paw

and other curious botanical stuff, like the little orange chicks in the nest or the dried dates on the ground..
