Time for Elderflower Syrup!

It’s that time of year again, and I’ve picked the elderflowers and made my syrup.

There’s nothing like elderflower syrup to quench your thirst. It’s been pretty cold in Italy lately, but today we have a high 29°Celcius, 84°F today.

I haven’t posted much this month. I’ve been pretty busy trying to organize my book launch. More about that later.

This morning, my dog decided it was late and woke me up at 6 am. Good thing, I got a lot of work done outdoors. It was a nice break from work. I finally planted my veggies in the vegetable garden and cut the grass. Plus I made this flavorsome syrup.

I’m a nature-loving adventurer and children’s book author/illustrator whose life has been an exhilarating journey. Originally hailing from Ottawa, Canada, I developed a deep fascination for wildlife while chasing after wild animals in the swamps. Although I initially aspired to become a veterinarian, my path took an unexpected turn when I relocated to Italy. In Italy, I pursued my passion for nature by earning a BS in Environmental Sciences and Territorial Management. This educational experience further ignited my love of writing about the natural world and its diverse wildlife. I’m an active member of several professional organizations, including SCBWI, 12x12PB Challenge, ICWA, and the Children’s Book Academy. Constantly seeking growth and connection within the industry, I engage with fellow writers and storytellers. Despite my affinity for all creatures, I humorously admit that my nine cats can be the most challenging animals to handle. When I’m not wrangling my feline friends, I spend my time writing, doodling, playing with clay, gardening, and exploring the enchanting Italian countryside with my husband. I also love preparing homemade pasta, showcasing my culinary skills. View all posts by eleanorannpeterson
