Here's another detail shot of one of the stained glass windows in the collégiale Saint-Sylvain at Levroux. The words mean "Hail, queen of heaven," and come from an old prayer, according to what I found in the internet.
Stained glass, St.-Sylvain de Levroux. October 2004.
Today is predicted to be the last dry day before the possibility of rain on Thursday. I plan to get outside and pick up a bunch of the little branches that were knocked out of our linden tree in the recent windy weather. I want to put them in a dry place and use them as kindling for the wood stove. In past years I also gathered twigs and branches dropped by our birches, but those trees are gone now.
I love these stained glass details.
ReplyDeleteDoes Tasha pick up sticks for you, the way Callie used to?
ReplyDeletemitch, glad you're enjoying them!
ReplyDeletejudy, yes. but with a twist. She latches on to one that I'm picking up and wants to play tug'o'war. When I let go, she runs away with the stick, dropping it a good distance from where it was originally. I have to put her in the house so I can pick up the last sticks. As for sticks out in the vineyard, she'll pick one up and run for a short distance before dropping it. She's not interested in bringing them all the way home.
lovely !
