My talented family

 


Jeff's woodworking.....




Mom's sewing......



Lynn's t-shirts......


You all spoil me rotten. 
Thank you!!!



Odds N Ends

 We, actually Stephane, rototilled the garden last weekend. All 200 sq meters. Rented this monster for the morning, 35 euros delivered and it took just under 1 hour to make several passes. Stephane walked away with all 10 fingers and toes and no accidents.
 

With a name like "Goldoni", you can't go wrong.


Our foot tall wild grass is a thing of the past after many hours of weedwacking.



Came across this horse carriage in our nearby town. 
You can rent it out, taxi style....pretty cool.




Spotted this amazing lady at the dump. Drove right up and emptied her grass clippings.
 She looks to be 90 something years old and solid as a horse. 
Very traditional country clothing , house coat and head scarf. 
Hope I'm looking as good at 90 !


These crazy photos are of a house sale/permanent junk/rummage sale we stumbled upon. 
There was no one present, just cardboard signs directing you to the upper floors. Nothing really good (I did buy a belt for 3 euros) and take a bunch of photos though.




Same person? We'll never know.
All these family photos were just sitting around, a bit melancholy.




Moldy walls in this crazy steep and narrow staircase.





Spring has sprung.....

 

Our neighbor's sheep.....


Our lilac bush in bloom....


Our view.....

My unfinshed landscaping job. 
I was out there with a pick ax like a miner there are so many small granite stones in the soil. 
Good times.....



The shots below are from our weekend at Stephane's cousin's birthday celebration.
 This area is know as Swiss Normandy because of the hilly landscape. 


Lots of old homes and farms....






And back to near Chenedouit and blue skies....
