Basking in Tuscan Sunlight

I am sitting here looking out to the beautiful, lush hills of Tuscany.  The sun is warm and the breeze is cool.  Across the valley is a lovely villa sitting peacefully atop a hill.  Olive trees, cypress trees, and vibrant greenery surround it, just like they do where I am staying.  Earlier today, I did some painting and then read a book (Under the Tuscan Sun, which I thought was rather appropriate) while birds twittered about me and bees buzzed around me.  This place is the epitome of tranquility.  I still have to remind myself that I am actually here.  One of the other farmers tells me that tomorrow we will be working in the vegetable garden.  I am baffled that this is real.
