the quiet Marche winter

A crisp, clear, frosty dawn. It is breathtakingly beautiful outside, snow deep up on the mountains and we are all wrapped up warm, including the agarve, which seem to be glowing, snug under their layer of insulation, waiting, as we are, for Spring. Yet there is much to do now and on a day such as this the bare, sleeping Marche landscape is quietly magnificent.
