Remember those olives?

[NV Whino]

Well, now they're harvested.


We had 24 of these 4 x 4 bins. A bumper crop this year.

1. Nice to see something harvested around there that isn't grapes.

I remember when that Valley wasn't practically a monoculture.

Nice photos. I wonder how they got such a nice color distribution on that second shot?

2. It's magic.

I just read that Tra Vigne is closing. Pizzeria is remaining and the catering business is moving across the street. Apparently the old building became too costly to maintain.

3. My wife has eaten there, I haven't.

Wonder what they'll do with it? That property is gold.

5. Some developer will move in

And make another chi-chi restaurant that locals can't afford.

4. Is it wrong that I want to take a plunge?

[NV Whino]

6. At this stage, they're hard little rocks

I wouldn't recommend it.

[Solly Mack]

7. Nah. I still wanna. Oil myself up a bit and just wallow.

With clothes on, of course.

I'm not a freak.

[Adsos Letter]

8. LOL!

...oil will be of no use to you if you remain clothed...

[Solly Mack]

9. My plan has a flaw. Dammit!

OK. You've talked me into it. No clothes.

[NV Whino]

10. I'll see if I can free up a 4 X 4 full of olives for you.

[Solly Mack]

11. Thank you! I'd like to be alone with the olives.

[Adsos Letter]

12. Well, just remember...

...this is the Photo Group.


I'll just go ahead and do this now...

[Solly Mack]

13. Happiness is a Photo Group that never experiences my love of olives.

14. What do you do with them?

Sell them for olive oil? Or can/bottle them? Save them for martinis?

[NV Whino]

15. These will be made into oil... Lots of oil

At least lots of oil for a small grower. He sells most of it to restaurants, but retails some through his website. He harvests and cures a few olives for himself.

And then there's always a bin for Solly Mack to wallow in.
