Industry past

This is an empty factory of some sort along the river in Le Grand-Pressigny. I get the impression that the buildings, or parts of them, had been re-inhabited in recent years, but were again abandoned. I like the buildings and the vent pipes on the roof.

An abandoned industrial site on the Claise River.

Many of you may remember that Callie will often bring a dead grape vine trunk home with her from her walks in the vineyard. She decided one day that carrying home a big stick was a good job, and she does it well. I had several piles of Callie's old vine trunks in the garden walkway. They are too long to fit into our wood stove without being cut, and cutting them with the big saw and sawhorse was awkward enough that I just didn't do it.

Well, now that I have the mini-chainsaw, I've been able to cut them all easily and stack them up in the wood pile for burning this season. The pathway is clear of grape trunks now. It's time to start picking up the fallen apples.
