Luncheon Under the Olive Trees

Beautiful weather calls for al fresco dining, and today is one of those days. Our son stopped by to pick up some mail, some silk tops we picked up from the cleaners for his fiancé, (hope she likes them) and for lunch. It was so beautiful, that we ate outdoors on our deck in the sun. It wasn't as beautiful as dining under the olives trees in Turkey, which was our last big vacation in November, but it was as much fun!

Thanks. We also sat in the groves in Italy, but it was a bit chilly for us that day.

Making the best of what is available is called living.

@DianneN , that sounds like a wonderful luncheon get together, glad you enjoyed good food, weather and company. Here it is supposed to be fall and it is still boiling hot, Dianne, I sit inside to not get fried. :D

Boiling hot is no fun for anyone, Catherine. I hope it cools off soon for you.

We love to sit outside and eat, too, here in California. We have a large fig tree that shades our patio. It is very peaceful out there.

We eat on our deck overlooking the yard and woods. It's very quiet and serene. We have a large glass table, but my hubs hasn't put the umbrella in it, yet. At least it wasn't too hot.

It looks like a nice picture that you took on your holiday, but I would imagine that lunch with your son would be much more fun. I'm loving this warm weather, but its not quite warm enough here for eating dinner outside. Maybe next week they are calling for that to change though, fingers crossed.

It was equally fun. My hubs and I always have a ball together, yet we had a tad more laughter with our son. I hope our lovely weather blows your way. I'm sure it's bound to change.

That sounds lovely - no chance of that here as it's been raining for the last couple of days.

I'm sure it will stop, eventually, and you can get to work on your garden.

We have beautiful weather here today also but no eating outside for me today. It's nice that the weather has finally gotten warmer so you can enjoy being outside and not miss Florida so much

Sounds nice. I want to visit Israel some day. I hear there are olive trees there.

There are. I'm afraid to go with the way the world is now.

So nice you were able to eat outside. Food seems to taste better in the fresh air for some reason. If it is as nice as they are promising, I may pack a picnic for Sunday after church, and we will go down by the water and eat.

Its too wet here to eat outside (no sun) but the weather is supposed to clear up this weekend. There is hope... I've never been to Turkey. That would be an interesting vacation.

I hope it clears up for you! Turkey was awesome, but we snuck in and out between bombings. We were very lucky.
