Down a lazy river

Here's the downstream shot to counter yesterday's upstream shot. It was just a matter of turning around. The château is visible on the left. The arched bridge connects the city center on the left bank of the Loire with the Ile Millocheau (right) and further to the train station on the right bank (not visible in this photo).

Saumur on the Loire, July 2006.

I made some progress in the yard yesterday by cutting up that pile of birch branches under the big cedar tree. Now I have to move them to the larger log pile next to the house. We've ordered a bunch of firewood for the winter and that's being delivered on the eleventh. As usual, it'll get dumped in the driveway and Ken and I will have to stack it ourselves. That could take a couple of days, depending on the weather and how well our backs hold up.

  1. “Downriver” is a beautiful vista. Can you pay to have them stack the wood, too?

  3. So pretty! I was wondering too if the wood could be stacked for you. If not, don’t overdo it!

  4. mitch, it's possible, but I think we can do it. It's just under 1.5 cords.

    anon, thanks!

    bettyann, the wood won't have to be moved far, they dump it close to where we stack it, so there's that.
