Our flowering, but fruitless, cherry is finishing up its spring bloom. I though I'd get a shot before the blossoms start falling to the ground.
Good news on the contractor front. A little background: last spring, we got an estimate for some plumbing work we've wanted done for a while, accepted it, and made a 30% down payment, which is customary. The contractor promptly cashed the check, but then we didn't hear from him. For months. Over the winter, I sent him an email but it went unanswered.
So, yesterday afternoon his truck showed up at the house of one of our neighbors. Ken and I walked right over. He was all smiles and said that he scheduled us for the end of April, and that he needed to take our central heating off-line for two days to do the job. Which, we presume, is why he didn't do anything over the fall and winter. I just wish he had let us know that we were in the queue.
Have you ever seen "A Year in Provence?"
I did read "A Year in Provence" and it was a very good read. I picked up that things in France must be done the French way.
ReplyDeleteI read the book too, and decided if I ever bought a house in France it would have to be perfect and needing NO repairs so I knew that probably wasn't going to happen!
DeleteSo, this is your year in Provence.
ReplyDeleteThat cherry tree is spectacular.
Beautiful tree!
