Here Comes The Sun...Finally!

The View Out Of Our Bedroom Window

The sun is back in the Auvergne. What a relief. Yesterday was a a productive day. I took up painting the shutters and the new windows again. In the afternoon, I declared war on all the pesky weeds that had grown in the last days of rain. Mr. K was busy sorting and splitting wood all afternoon, and my father proceeded to make a hellish fire to burn all the insect infested wood that was taken off from the roof of our little shed. By afternoon, the garden looked pretty spiffy for the first time in years. Progress, a little bit at a time. I guess work would progress quicker if not for the long lunch interruptions, followed by the frequent chats with neighbors as they walk by the house to comment on our work. And then of course, by the time the wine bottle makes its appearance, all work stops. It is hard to imagine that in two weeks, I will be back in Brooklyn, New York. The life I lead here just seems so much saner...
