From rural Australia: would recommend to have as many water tanks as possible around the house area to capture every drop of rain and run off from each layer or roof and verandah. Keep tanks close to house and solar instal hose and pump for bushfires. Then of course to serve the house and property. Carve out your home space, roads going all around the house for full circular access to every part of the house, as many flat spaces as possible. Once that is done landscape the rest to serve your purposes with the 140+ trees and your vegetable gardens with automatic shade cloths to protect them from too much heat. Create terraced steps from home through the property going down. * Invest in all roads and access to leave property from more than one direction for emergency purposes so you are never stuck with only one way. Live in an air-conditioned caravan while home is built ?
Really good advice on water management and bush fire planning! This of course would come from from someone living in rural oz. If you ever come across someone from the bush in Australia, interrogate them! Good luck with everything!
Arhhhh I love Sundays, we get to see our beautiful little family🥰 Pleased you got your land cleared and can relax a little now👏Luce is walking on her own, how lovely🤩This is were the fun begins, eyes at the back of your head time🤣 Stay safe and Takecare of each other. Love Rose xxx

You know when I saw Luca standing there proudly watching over these ancient olive tree entities with the infinite blue ocean behind him and the heavenly blue sky above him I was thinking: "uwauuuu what a life, from hell straight to paradise! You guys are beautiful high vibrational guardians of the New Earth. With love, admiration and great respect Belle 💙
If I didn't love Luce enough all ready - My heart sang when she meowed when you mentioned the cats!!! Sweet little baby girl! It is awesome that you guys have become the best stewards of that beautiful historical land in Sicily!!!
Connection and care of the earth, of trees, of one another. Love the sound of the cicadas. Luce really lit up when you mentioned feeding the cats...Bounty indeed! Stay safe lovely family. FYI Scorpions: Sicily is home to several species of scorpions, some of which can be venomous. While scorpions are not usually aggressive and will only sting if threatened, it's important to be aware of their presence, especially in rural areas.
Such a peaceful location and removing clutter and cleaning, safeguarding your new home is such a healing start. Enjoy the journey. Great learnings along the way ❤
So so very glad for u guys ,such a huge transition also the tractor digging will have removed snakes etc also to see Lucca so happy playing now with pears and walking is bliss, we can see ur fav sea also so much better now, how lucca lights up at cats and horses is ❤❤❤ m Love and hugs❤
Hi guys. You've done a great job in cleaning the property. Huge progress 👍 in one of the previous episodes you said that you will give the property a name. I'm excited about that. I'm sure you'll choose something unique. That little Luce is so adorable😘 stay safe and healthy guys 👍🧔👩🧒
You might consider large canvas wall tents on wooden platforms. Glamping accommodations are comfortable, inexpensive to build while providing a temporary living solution.
I second this idea!! I stayed in the southwest desert in a "luxury tent". It had a wonderful bed, a settee, an old area carpet, and a spot for my travel bag. It was so refreshing to have the benefit of a comfortable sleep surrounded by the sounds of the night! After four nights I was refreshed, renovated by the absence of the hectic urban life. Another advantage of glamping is that you can easily move the tent to a different space on the property. I want to be on the list, please 🙏. ❤❤
So much progress while bring up a wee one. Lots of great suggestions from other viewers, like the suggestions from Australia. As a person who lived in Africa water, shade and power are the most important. You will do it ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Oh this precious little girl and the poignant music, brings tears to my eyes. Your property looks amazing, so clean now. You are so responsive and responsible, clearing for the trees and land but for the fires too. I tried so hard to find updates this week of the fire situation, thinking always of you. Thankfully your area appears to be fire free and hope it stays that way. It's been such a wild summer and all the crazy weather too in Northern Italy. I wish you a beautiful week, sending love, love to you dear Sara, Luca and precious Luce.❤
I wonder if you can get a nearby farm to bring some goats to eat up all the underbrush? You can get a solar powered mesh fence to put up wherever you need for the goats to be safe in,it's easy to move around. It's alot of work and you are doing a amazing job. It's so exciting to see your journey ❤
This was a lovely catch up guys The drone shots of your property looked amazing, the colours were so vibrant between the sea,trees and the land. Its great to see this land being cared for after so many year. What a transformation already, well done. Little Luce is so cute playing ball.💕
Luce is walking!!!! Omg WONDERFUL. She is talking. Saying so many words. Your property is sooooo beautiful. Clean and tidy. It does look BIGGER. It is simply gorgeous guys. You both look so proud looking at your amazing property. The trees must be so happy to have the weeds gone and fresh dirt around them now. Bless you all. Please give sweet, beautiful, Luce a big hug from accross the waters from me to her. Stay safe and enjoy your gorgeous land and the begining of this new journey. Ciao Amore
a) Your daughter is so beautiful, inside and out (and why shouldn't she be? both of you are, too) b) I'm so glad that Luca is doing better; looking at him now, you'd never know you all went through so much hell (even if the road to complete recovery is a long one, I'm sure) c) I lived in Sicily years ago (vicino di Catania in una "citta" che si chiama San Pietro Clarenza) when I was in the military. I will visit one day soon with my wife; awesome that you chose to live there!
You both have worked so hard to return your land to be productive & a source of enjoyment for others who appreciate the beauty of natural surroundings. Have you ever seen Yurts they are like circular tents that are spacious enough to have a stove, bed & other pieces of furniture that are suitable for visitors needs. They would suit your landscape.. Amazing to see how Luce is walking so well on such uneven ground, & her knowledge of animals is beautiful, she has a kind heart & emits her sweet nature in her reactions to your conversations. Nonno Claudio & Nonna Bruna & Laura must miss seeing little Luce, hope they get to hold her soon.. 🌸💞🐱
You are doing such an amazing job of taking care of the land. The trees are so happy❤️ they needed a little love and now the perfect family is tending to them! ❤️ Please don’t over do it…. I’m praying for your strength and safety 🥰🤗🍋 Luce is walking on her own 👏🏻
Lovely to see Luce toddling along and so delighted to be on her own feet❤😂 great work on the property! Bravo bravehearts💕 wishing you many helpers and years of happiness ahead ❤
First I want to say that I love that your teaching your daughter two languages. She's such a little delight!!! The land is really taking shape. Breath taking view!!!💜💜
Hi gorgeous family Luce has found her legs & running with Mama & she is forming words! Her comprehension is amazing plus she is incredibly cute! Your land is looking tidy everything is starting to fall in place! Love from Australia ❤️🇦🇺🤗
You are so inspiring ❤. You make us so proud to watch young members of our ancestral culture preserve our ancestral home. This geographic area is so precious to me personally, and if I ever get back to Motta I will feel a bond knowing you are close by and doing your best to care for your piece of paradise.
You guys have done a wonderful job on your land. Your land is beautiful. I love you can see the ocean. It was so cute when Luce was picking pears ,she wanted to put them in the bags. Good helper. I’m so happy for you.
Love your channel.Happy Luca is better. Luce is beautiful!!. Sara, you are a strong women. Have you thought about getting a Yurt , so you can move onto the land why you renovate the stone house ? Amazing how old the olive trees are, the history and the stories they could tell if they could talk.
Looove seeing Luce moving about on her own!! So many changes coming your way. Happy you will be shepherds of this beautiful land and sharing your journey.💕🌿
We have a very similar olive Grove in southern Spain with very old olives, such a privilege. The cleaning job you did is excellent. We have found that we can pick all our own olives (200 trees) with just a bit of help from friends and family. We now pick our olives directly from trees as the best olive oil is now considered early harvest olives, no need for nets etc. We have done all sorts of different harvests , late, early with and without nets. Early wins, with low acid for the best AOVE. Harvest time is wonderful. Hope this is a bit helpful.
I'm so excited for your wonderful landscape transformation, it looks great Luca and Sarah! And you're blessed with a great neighbor Sebastiano. I teared up with joy seeing Luce walking all by herself! 🎉💖 Can't wait for the big surprise next Sunday! Much love and God bless you all. 🥰❤️🙏🏻
What a transformation! Congratulations to all who made this possible. I am so taken with your enthusiasm and love for each other and your property. God bless you abundantly with all you need. 💗🙏💗
The drone shots really show how beautiful your land is now. Glad you were able to have some help with such a huge job! Wish I had half your energy!! You are building a beautiful paradise for your family and generations to come. It was hot in Southern California too but thankfully it has returned to more normal. I am looking forward to seeing what you do with your stone house. Please stay safe. Kathi❤️
So much admiration for you both, for taking over the care of the land and work which was so desperately necessary. Your adventurism and enthusiasm for life is infectious! With your guidance, adorable Luce getting an early education in the harvest -- already showing a beautiful sense of humor. ❤🌞🦋🫶
Protection first. Inform the local authorities that you live there, especially the Fire Department. Maybe they have not noticed your presence yet. Always make sure that your phones are charged (both). Create easy access to all the place, opening roads and paths, cleaning the wild plants and creating emergency stations at the four directions. Wells, tanks and troughs to collect water. Proper protection for wild animals, martens, rats, snakes, scorpions, mosquitos, bees, bats, etc, especially around the house and on the near trees. Mediterranean nature is full of them. Have emergency kit with the necessary medicines. Create canopies with grapevines and mulberry trees. Don't do barbecue during the summer. Start quickly the process to have electricity in the house and communal water to drink . Sometimes it takes a very long time to have them because of bureaucracy. Or think about solar panels. Start to think about the borders of your land, building low walls with stones or wires. You never know if your neighbors agree with your opinion. Have legal documents with topographic designs. Don't be romantic about it! While you renovate and build your house you can live in a camper. The weather is mild in the Mediterranean , the winter is soft in general. Sometimes rains a lot, but only for a few days. It is nice for the olive trees. The more water during the winter and spring, the better olive oil on next autumn! Good luck! Have your best life! Many wishes! 😊💐
I'm from South Australia. One of the most important things is to make sure you have more than one escape route. Good you are clearing the undergrowth but remember bushfires travel very fast especially if there is a strong wind, so please don't think just because you have cleared the land your property will be safe. Bush fires jump over roads, so could easily jump from tree to tree.
I love your show! I'm a 72 year old man. I live in the USA. MY grandparents are from Messina. What a beautiful life you are making for your family. I look forward to every episode. I just finished watching the video of your newly purchased home in the quaint and beautiful village. I wish you health and happiness. God Bless you all
Thank you for all your videos. I love watching Lucias reactions and smiles. She's so sweet. What a paradise to live in an old olive orchard. Blessings to you all.
ragazzi fantastico una nuova avventura per voi auguro salute bonta' e in bocca al lupo , un giorno alla volta , e un bacio grandioso per Luce bella bambina benedizioni per tutti tre !!!
Amazing transformation! Great job and such a blessing to have people who already know the land. I can envision Luce climbing and finding her favorite sitting in a tree spots. Hope you're able to find a professional to remove the hornets. I heard recently that figs are dependent on one variety of small hornets in order to ripen. So just make sure that you don't unintentionally wipe out that kind. Take care and God bless always.
Hello from Japan. You are both inspiring and brave. Wishing you all three all the best. You are in our hearts, our minds, and our prayers. Love seeing the progress. Good luck!
The property looks marvelous! Your orchard will thrive with bountiful harvests. Breathing new life into it will give you so much pleasure. And I’m sure the previous owners are so happy with you ( the new owners) and it is warming their hearts to see it come alive again. ❤
This is what I will call a real vision and mission project. The three of you have already succeeded in implementing a lot of your vision. Great job and thumbs up to you. The views keep getting better and better. Your hard work will pay off greatly.
Hello Amici! Sono Jannet de California. I watched your film today and believe you have an underground spring where that unusual root makes a hollow “O”. I study Native Sign Trees across America and have seen the very same phenomenon where there is underground water. I am interested in seeing the any other. Unique formed trees where the branches make right angles or sharp turns where it appears the limbs have been groomed. If so, these may be intentional signets by previous arborists/farmers. This ancient tradition is worth considering when searching for water. For instance- Hollows in the trunk develop where the Water table is close to the surface there is an abundance of water flooding. Each tree has a story tell about the geography in the area.
Greetings from Australia. I'm up very late & thought I'd check in. Love your land, so wonderful having all those trees & the view is amazing. Just enjoy it all & go @ your own pace. Glad you're safe from the fires & you'll take precautions. Happy days ahead for you beautiful family. God bless you richly.🧡🎵❣️🎵🧡🎵❣️
Kia ora from beautiful Aotearoa New Zealand! I'm a retired landscaper and olive grower and I would like to pass on to you one of the things I learnt which is, to avoid planting plants with strong smells, e.g. lavender, anywhere near your olive trees as the perfume will be detectable in your olive oil.
Hi guys ❤ Glad you have had a cooler week. I still can't believe you have this amazing land. It's so gorgeous and you are a brilliant example of people who make their dreams happen. I also love that Luce has her own tools already and is digging the earth. ❤ Also her little denim outfit is the cutest 😍 Guys I am sure you will find the perfect people to help with the planning through your contacts and followers! Can't wait to hear what your surprise is. Have a great week 💖
Sunday!! Our beautiful family!! The land is looking better and better. So much work! But Luce is there helping!! Please, dont overdo it. P lease, watch your health!! Avanti!!
What a transformation. So excited for you all! And you can see more and more of the beautiful, blue water 🎉 This is an accomplishment, a success. Make sure you keep drinking a lot of water in this extreme heat. Love you ❤🎉
Watching Luce pick pears and walking on her own gave me goosebumps! Sounds like you have a lot to plan and accomplish. Thank you for taking us along every week! ❤️🍁
Isn't it such a wonderful feeling to see your progress when you look around and see the beautiful results of your hard work? It's just the beginning of this incredible journey. I am adoring the ride, especially getting to see Luce each week. She's the 🌟 and seeing her progress like now walking and even running and I just started watching your channel! Amazing!❤❤❤❤
This is a huge undertaking. I’m happy to see that you are able to get help. It’s great that you have a year to get settled in. It would be great to be able to get the van on the property. Wishing you all the positive energy I can muster up!❤️
Loved the beginning showing the property. We picked up pales from stores/restaurants/shops empty feta and olives buckets. We placed a bucket near each tree. Then when it rains you have 70 buckets of water. We put a rock and stones in the bottom of bucket so they didn't fall over in the wind
How beautiful each time y’all come up. It is paradise 🥰 it was so cute watch your love for this land. You can feel it when you talk about the trees and your care to make them better. Watching Luce walking playing ball is awesome.,watching her pulling the fruit and eating it how wonderful how you are teaching her to live the fruit the land like you do. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Blessings for the next week. 👏🏻❤️❤️👏🏻❤️❤️👏🏻
Gooooood evvvvening ,you most beautiful family.Let’s take a moment for Luce to say what a happy content little girl she is ❤.You have made such improvements to your land in such a very short period of time.I admire and respect your’ can do ‘ attitude you have for everything in your life .Looking forward to next Sunday,love you all guys xxx
I sit here watching your video and realize I have the biggest smile on my face and it's all because of the beautiful love you all have for your precious baby girl. It fills my heart with so much joy to see such loving parents. ❤❤❤ Much love to you all, and yes, life is beautiful. 🙂
Imagine having your own organic olive oil to use and sell. It will be amazing. Your hard work shows, the property is looking beautiful. Luce is walking so good now and so many new words. Really love this age, the world is changing daily for her.
Hi Y'ALL, the olive Grove looks so awesome cleaned up.great job..the pear and fig trees are wonderful...❤😊❤ Keep going, this is the beginning of your HOMESTEAD for generations...😊❤😊
Wow your property is beautiful and now that it is clear of brush u can clearly see lots of things, Luce is walking very good on her own now wow once she is alittle older she will be a walking machine and she will keep u on your toes lol. Take care and stay safe beautiful family x
I just love to listen to the vlog with the Cicadas in the background. Your property has really good vibes. Little Luce is going to be a runner when she grows up!
I watch you on my TV but there is no way to like and subscribe. So I went to my phone to find you to subscribe and to like. Even tho I watch you on TV. You are wonderful and your baby girl is so beautiful and so happy and so blessed to have you as parents. I pray for your success and will continue to follow you God bless you
You guys must be pinching yourselves thinking "we own this now!" Spectacular view even better after the cleanup! Luce is growing up on youtube! I've never so much enjoyed watching a baby learning to climb then walk and talk.....awesome! ❤ 🥰 🌹 🇮🇹
From rural Australia: would recommend to have as many water tanks as possible around the house area to capture every drop of rain and run off from each layer or roof and verandah.

That sounds like excellent advice. Better safe than sorry.

Good luck with everything!
I want to be her Irish ☘️ Uncle so l can send my love 😍 and some presents 🎉for her birthday 🎂 And for Christmas 🥰

It's like your land can now breathe! Amazing job, well done on such huge progress.
What an amazing change ! The trees are smiling ! Now the rain can go to their roots and not to the massive weeds!🌳
Thank you ❤

So much progress while bring up a wee one. Lots of great suggestions from other viewers, like the suggestions from Australia. As a person who lived in Africa water, shade and power are the most important. You will do it ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
A yurt is a great temporary structure. Plus they’re fairly inexpensive as far as shelters compared to domes or tiny homes.
I was thinking the exact same thing! I have seen some beautiful large yurts being built and living off the grid!
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
My friend lived in a yurt for 8yrs in Jackson Hole WY. Just a wood stove , solar ect , yurts are awesome
So Nice work and vibes! Does your land end on the beach?
Oh this precious little girl and the poignant music, brings tears to my eyes. Your property looks amazing, so clean now.

Glad you are teaching Luce in English also. She is walking nicely and with confidence.🤗❤️❤️
Look at little Luce walking, all by herself! And on rough & hilly ground!!! Bravo little one!!!! ❤❤❤
Please let us know when you will be harvesting! Since we will be there in October we might be able to volunteer! Gladly!❤

You've already made a HUGE difference on the land. The place is becoming a reflection of the love and beauty of your little family.❤
a) Your daughter is so beautiful, inside and out (and why shouldn't she be? both of you are, too)
b) I'm so glad that Luca is doing better; looking at him now, you'd never know you all went through so much hell (even if the road to complete recovery is a long one, I'm sure)

Oh Luce......... What an adventure you are on......... HUGS to you all
Make sure your water collection pipes on the roof and the old water tank does not have any lead. Being so old they might have lead.
Luce is walking!!! Great to see all you have done!
What a transformation! Congratulations to all who made this possible. I am so taken with your enthusiasm and love for each other and your property. God bless you abundantly with all you need. 💗🙏💗
Your land is looking so much better after its was worked up by the tractor. It is ok to have help with all of the work ahead of you.
The drone shots really show how beautiful your land is now. Glad you were able to have some help with such a huge job! Wish I had half your energy!! You are building a beautiful paradise for your family and generations to come. It was hot in Southern California too but thankfully it has returned to more normal.

Wow Italy is beautiful thank you for sharing. Looks like a lovely place to have a family.
So much admiration for you both, for taking over the care of the land and work which was so desperately necessary.
Your adventurism and enthusiasm for life is infectious!
With your guidance, adorable Luce getting an early education in the harvest -- already showing a beautiful sense of humor. ❤🌞🦋🫶
Be careful working in the heat. Stay well hydrated drink lots of water. Blessings in all you do.
Protection first. Inform the local authorities that you live there, especially the Fire Department. Maybe they have not noticed your presence yet. Always make sure that your phones are charged (both).
Create easy access to all the place, opening roads and paths, cleaning the wild plants and creating emergency stations at the four directions.
Wells, tanks and troughs to collect water.
Proper protection for wild animals, martens, rats, snakes, scorpions, mosquitos, bees, bats, etc, especially around the house and on the near trees. Mediterranean nature is full of them. Have emergency kit with the necessary medicines.
Create canopies with grapevines and mulberry trees. Don't do barbecue during the summer.
Start quickly the process to have electricity in the house and communal water to drink . Sometimes it takes a very long time to have them because of bureaucracy. Or think about solar panels.
Start to think about the borders of your land, building low walls with stones or wires. You never know if your neighbors agree with your opinion. Have legal documents with topographic designs. Don't be romantic about it! While you renovate and build your house you can live in a camper.
The weather is mild in the Mediterranean , the winter is soft in general. Sometimes rains a lot, but only for a few days. It is nice for the olive trees. The more water during the winter and spring, the better olive oil on next autumn!
Good luck! Have your best life! Many wishes! 😊💐
Alway seeing the blue sea in tHe background is easy to see why u love ur new property
I'm from South Australia. One of the most important things is to make sure you have more than one escape route. Good you are clearing the undergrowth but remember bushfires travel very fast especially if there is a strong wind, so please don't think just because you have cleared the land your property will be safe. Bush fires jump over roads, so could easily jump from tree to tree.
I was thinking the same about the wind. Canada has had huge issues and I remember this too being a big problem in Australia.
I love your show! I'm a 72 year old man. I live in the USA. MY grandparents are from Messina. What a beautiful life you are making for your family. I look forward to every episode. I just finished watching the video of your newly purchased home in the quaint and beautiful village. I wish you health and happiness. God Bless you all
Great job, I’m sure the trees thank you and so does the land. Luce is doing really well with her walking. Stay safe and always have an escape route.❤
Wow what difference once you clean the land and what a wonderful sea view 🎉❤
Thank you for all your videos. I love watching Lucias reactions and smiles. She's so sweet. What a paradise to live in an old olive orchard. Blessings to you all.
ragazzi fantastico una nuova avventura per voi auguro salute bonta' e in bocca al lupo , un giorno alla volta , e un bacio grandioso per Luce bella bambina benedizioni per tutti tre !!!
Amazing transformation! Great job and such a blessing to have people who already know the land. I can envision Luce climbing and finding her favorite sitting in a tree spots. Hope you're able to find a professional to remove the hornets. I heard recently that figs are dependent on one variety of small hornets in order to ripen. So just make sure that you don't unintentionally wipe out that kind. Take care and God bless always.
Hello Beautiful Family! Wow alot accomplished! The perfect property with a promising future for you. ❤🤗🙏
I’m totally amazed by the progress you managed to achieve. It’s such a pleasure to watch it. Best wishes ❤️
Hugs and kisses to the beautiful little sleeping Luce from Nonna Santa BELLA Green
Well done fantastic your Daughter Lucha is so beautiful 😍
Hello from Japan. You are both inspiring and brave. Wishing you all three all the best. You are in our hearts, our minds, and our prayers. Love seeing the progress. Good luck!
The property looks marvelous! Your orchard will thrive with bountiful harvests. Breathing new life into it will give you so much pleasure. And I’m sure the previous owners are so happy with you ( the new owners) and it is warming their hearts to see it come alive again. ❤
What a great job clearing the ground. Yes good advice from Australia. Always look forward to your next video. ❤ xxx
I am a new subscriber but have been watching for a bit. Your daughter is lovely. She has such a beautiful
countenance. Just like the two of you!❤
This is what I will call a real vision and mission project. The three of you have already succeeded in implementing a lot of your vision. Great job and thumbs up to you. The views keep getting better and better. Your hard work will pay off greatly.
Hello Amici! Sono Jannet de California. I watched your film today and believe you have an underground spring where that unusual root makes a hollow “O”.
I study Native Sign Trees across America and have seen the very same phenomenon where there is underground water. I am interested in seeing the any other. Unique formed trees where the branches make right angles or sharp turns where it appears the limbs have been groomed.
If so, these may be intentional signets by previous arborists/farmers. This ancient
tradition is worth considering when searching for water. For instance- Hollows in the trunk develop where the
Water table is
close to the surface there is an abundance of water flooding. Each tree has a story tell about the geography in the area.
Greetings from Australia. I'm up very late & thought I'd check in. Love your land, so wonderful having all those trees & the view is amazing. Just enjoy it all & go @ your own pace. Glad you're safe from the fires & you'll take precautions.
Happy days ahead for you beautiful family. God bless you richly.🧡🎵❣️🎵🧡🎵❣️
👋🏻❤️👋🏻
The place is looking so much better in such a short time! Luce gets more adorable every post.
She is so smart.❤
Kia ora from beautiful Aotearoa New Zealand! I'm a retired landscaper and olive grower and I would like to pass on to you one of the things I learnt which is, to avoid planting plants with strong smells, e.g. lavender, anywhere near your olive trees as the perfume will be detectable in your olive oil.
Hi guys ❤ Glad you have had a cooler week. I still can't believe you have this amazing land. It's so gorgeous and you are a brilliant example of people who make their dreams happen. I also love that Luce has her own tools already and is digging the earth. ❤ Also her little denim outfit is the cutest 😍 Guys I am sure you will find the perfect people to help with the planning through your contacts and followers! Can't wait to hear what your surprise is. Have a great week 💖
Do the cicadas ever stop? Beautiful property for a beautiful couple and their beautiful girl.❤❤Love always wins❤

This is an accomplishment, a success. Make sure you keep drinking a lot of water in this extreme heat. Love you ❤🎉
Watching Luce pick pears and walking on her own gave me goosebumps! Sounds like you have a lot to plan and accomplish. Thank you for taking us along every week! ❤️🍁
Isn't it such a wonderful feeling to see your progress when you look around and see the beautiful results of your hard work? It's just the beginning of this incredible journey. I am adoring the ride, especially getting to see Luce each week. She's the 🌟 and seeing her progress like now walking and even running and I just started watching your channel! Amazing!❤❤❤❤
This is a huge undertaking. I’m happy to see that you are able to get help. It’s great that you have a year to get settled in. It would be great to be able to get the van on the property. Wishing you all the positive energy I can muster up!❤️
Incredible beautiful aged olive trees. gorgeous view of the sea. Luce is adorable.
Congratulations on walking Luce!!!! A new world is opening up to you!🌻🌼🌷
Loved the beginning showing the property. We picked up pales from stores/restaurants/shops empty feta and olives buckets. We placed a bucket near each tree. Then when it rains you have 70 buckets of water. We put a rock and stones in the bottom of bucket so they didn't fall over in the wind
Greetings from Germany, you did an amazing job in a very short time❤❤❤!
What an amazing transformation of your property!! Beautiful! Kudos on your vision and hard work Sara and Luca! 👍🏼
