Streets dressed for summer

Make that singular. This one street in Saint-Aignan is adorned with these colorful triangles for summer. They seem to appear every year, but only on this street. They might have something to do with the gallery that's located on the street.

We said bye-bye to our big old concrete barbecue grill yesterday. It had started to lean, so I wanted to take it apart and re-level the base. When Ken and I started moving the pieces (and they are heavy), a few of them cracked. That convinced us to get rid of the thing. More of the pieces broke as we moved them to another spot.

We've had that big bbq grill for nine years and haven't used it much recently. It's just not convenient to the kitchen and we have the small electric grill on the deck. We use that one all the time. So we're thinking we'll get a gas grill for outdoors next spring. That way we can bring it inside over winter and move it around to where it's more convenient when we want to grill outdoors.
