We seem to be out of the rain cycle for a while. Just when we want a little rain to test the deck's slope. Oh well, I will have to try to make rain with a watering can. The contractor's bill arrived promptly yesterday. He asked for payment by mid-may. We don't have the plumber's bill yet.
Yesterday I made a long overdue run to the dump/recycle center. We got rid of a huge stock of cables from various home electronics long defunct, a good stack of cardboard, and other various and sundry junk that's been taking up space in the garage.
I'm planning to go to the market this morning for, you guessed it, asparagus and strawberries. This is a holiday weekend in France (May 1 is Labor Day), so there might be a crowd. Strikes and demonstrations are planned around the country for Monday, mostly protesting the retirement reform. A good day to stay at home.
Have a e-stem of lily of the valley from me on Monday.
ReplyDeleteSo ethereal. Figures the rain would stop now. We have our international fair going on now. Parade today. Lots of places closed Monday. And I'm sure there will be a demonstration or two. City workers were on our plaza two days last week making a LOT of noise.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful view.

It's so good to know that you've gotten two big jobs taken care of!
ReplyDeleteanon, ok!
ReplyDeletemitch, what are they protesting there?
bettyann, :)
judy, yes!. Now it's time to pay... ;)
Sadly, I haven't been able to find out from anyone what the city workers were protesting about. I didn't want to ask them when they were making all the noise. I guess their protests weren't very effective.
ReplyDeleteStrawberries already? In the Midwest they are a June berry.
