This is not the piney woods, but it's not far. This, unless I'm mistaken, is part of the Artsy Organized Neighbor's land. He's cut down trees and stacked them farther back in the woods (a few posts ago). He's also thinned out the undergrowth at the edge (and burned it). The edge is where vineyard parcels meet the woods. In true French style, he's tidied up the landscape.
We are now in the middle of what's called Les Saints de Glace (the Ice Saints). This is when the last killing frosts of spring can form. True to form, it's been cold for the past few days. But, thankfully, not cold enough for frost. I'm sure the grape growers are happy about that. Maybe now it'll start getting warmer. By the way, the asparagus vendor at the Saint-Aignan Saturday market has beautiful (and tasty) strawberries available, as he does each year. I got some last Saturday and am planning to get some more this coming weekend.
