Lemons are just some of the citrus being grown at Salvatore and Francesca's farm outside Caltanisetta in central Sicily. Besides their four home-schooled chidren, their farm or Il Sogno di un Uomo Ridiculo (The Dream of a Ridiculous Man), hosts goats, ducks, geese, chickens, lots of olive trees, some fruit trees and vegetable gardens.

Almond blossoms...bloomed a month later than normal due to the unusually cold and wet winter in Sicily.
Drying my shoes was a struggle as there was a lot of rain in March.
