First Two Crepes

Just now, a knock came on the window and Mme. L was there with a plate with 2 crepes on it. She (explained in French) that today, you make an give crepes to someone as a traditional custom, to assure them of prosperity ( she made the universal money sign rubbing her thumb with her forefinger accompanied by a big smile)  in the new year.
One was just sugar, the other was fig. I would have included a picture, but I think she said something about eating them quickly, and so I did. .
Behind her the sky was black and thundering loudly. There is a complete break of the storm over the sea in the distance. There it is blue with salmon colored clouds.
These pictures are right outside my door at 4 pm.
West towards Spain
South Towards The Sea
