Late Sept.

Here we are in late Sept.  where has it all gone? It was a beautiful sunny day today. I washed sheets and hung them in the Garden....oops where they still hang  Oh well...too late now..anyway it is almost 9 pm here so it has been dark for a while.. as I was saying, after hanging the sheets on the line in the garden, Michael said" I am going up to the cross to take some pictures, do you want to go along?", I thought about it, my legs were aching from a walk up to the cross and down to Antiaque yesterday, and I thought it might be good to push them a little and I had been cleaning in the AM so walk or clean...guess which I choose!  but as it turned out the cross that Michael was talking about and the cross that I was thinking of were not the same... the cross above is up a small dirt road from Montazels, no more than a mile, all up, a good walk, especially on a cool autumn day... the picture below is where Michael had in mind to climb and we did for the most part..until I asked what time it was since I had French class today at 3..OOPs  down we start, he did not get to take the movie of the top of the mountain...but we did see a lot of the burned area. but walked from noonish to 2:00.

 

I was late to French class, but they had just been talking about personal stuff so I did not miss too much.., then Pat and I walked back up the hill to the house.  Later we walked back down to Couisa and had dinner at the Tatanka...Pizza and Kabob..kabob is a strange contraption that they put turkey or chicken, or beef on and cook it from the inside and in front of a fire as it turns around and around...smells wonderful, and tastes even better..after it cooks they shave it with an electric knife so that it is very thin and serve it on a bread similar to pita.  Yummmmm

We walked back up the mountain...now does that tell you how much my legs have done today? about 6-8 miles...probably uppppp and down!!

this was sunrise yesterday...we were as glad to see the sun as we were to see the rain last week.. the garden is so happy..I got enough grapes to make jam and have been able to make the herb garden a bit neater since we have had some rain...the sage is huge and has had several "haircuts" this year, the basil is growing as well.. before I close I want to show you my washing machine

A strange looking contraption, but after a day or two I made peace with it and we are best friends now..it will hold about 6-8 kilos of clothes and sounds like a B52 on take off when it spins but does it do the job!! I wouldn't mind having one Stateside!!! And since a trip to the laundramat here costs about 25 dollars, I am loving this machine!!!

I guess that is all for now, tomorrow I think that Michael and I are off for another adventure...who knows where, who cares..

Love to all , Unity study that French...I am studying possessif L'adjectif....ugh  Mon, ma mes...got that?
