Paths

These are part of a small network of pathways through the Artsy Organized Neighbor's property. The land is mostly wooded and much of it is a ravine that helps to drain the adjacent vineyard parcels. Thorny brambles are growing in the spaces between the trees and Tasha doesn't like walking on them so, for now, we're avoiding the undergrowth as much as we can.

The path leads to a clearing and a big log pile.

I got myself an appointment at an optical shop a few towns away. The appointment is on Friday morning, when that town's weekly market is held. I'll take advantage while I'm there. One of the actual stores in town is a shop that specializes in organic produce and other "healthy" foods. I'm looking for some gombo (okra) and hope they have some. Otherwise, strawberries and asparagus are in season!

Thursday is a big holiday in France: La fête du travail (Labor Day). A lot of people who have the day off will likely take Friday as well for a four-day weekend.

  1. Great photo of Tasha yesterday, and oh boy, new glasses and strawberries and asparagus! Good luck with getting the okra!

  2. I’ve walked many woods that looked like that! Your adventure into a nearby town sounds like fun.

  3. A beautiful, woodsy picture. Maybe you’ll have an opportunity to take some pictures in the town a few towns over. You know we’d love to see them.

    Where is Hansel and Gretel (sp?)? It seems like a path they might have taken while it was still light. Or me. That looks like a very relaxing and quiet walk in the woods (no snakes , I hope!).
