Looks Like More Rain!

We have barely scraped yesterday's coat of primer from under our nails and out of our hair and we get up and have to paint some more!  Today, we are excited, though because we get to graduate to color!  It is a decidedly great day for painting, because it is raining outside.  Since we can't get out and play, we have nothing to distract us from our task.  The only pictures we take are from the windows...

This is a picture of the house directly across the street from us - it is now vacant, so our street is very quiet.

This is a photo of the view outside the bedroom window.  The clock tower is on top of the church around the corner and chimes every half hour and every hour.  Looking down from this view, you would see the garden (le jardin) where there are fresh herbs, lettuce, tomatoes and green beans.  The potatoes have already been harvested and we eat them almost daily.  The vegetables are fabulous!

Of course, Tricia has beautiful roses in her garden.  This picture was taken from the front door on a trellis.  OK, enough playing around, it is time to get to work!

OK, we have worked hard and will call it a day so that we can rest up and finish up tomorrow.  But, why is it that the women and children continue to work, while the men get to knock off at 5pm for a beer!  Could this be the French way?

Incredible!  Alain and Daniel break for beer - those union guys are busting our...bunions!
