What a wonderful we had to an Olive Mill for some Olive Oil Tasting, and tasting other goodies too. The view is spectacular and the weather was perfect. And the gardens and wildflowers were lovely. This was a perfect day.

During a week of freezing temperatures and Freezing Fog, we have had a lot of frost near our home. Nothing prepared me for the Winter Wonderland we saw in a neighboring town with Hoar Frost, otherwise called Radiation Frost. The very moist Freezing Fog had deposited a layer of white on everything that looked like snow, but wasn’t. Come and take a look at some of these amazing photos.
