New Sandals from Italy

It's very hot here.

 Emile lays right in front of the fan...I take them swimming in the river late afternoon.

There is nothing like turning around from working at the computer and seeing this...

Garden Project

I have been here for 21/2 years and would have loved to have done some serious gardening but I had big ugly plants blocking my way...well, I have managed to kill them off. Madame L. asked me why I don't put the plants in pots into the planter....so, I said, I will.

before...my plants in pots.

working

Planter 75% cleared...I ran into a rather large frop ( crapeau) and that put a stop to going all the way 100%. Also, there is this big ugly geranium in my way that I am afraid to pull up.

Everything is planted and now I wait for growth. 

I still had many plants in pots and some were to mature to move...and there was no room, so I used concrete blocks and added them on the end of the planting box.
Note the crappy fence....you could not imagine what I paid to have that fence built before I arrived. I needed it to keep the dogs in. I was majorly ripped off.  No one here made a peep to object. I could have had a much better fence for about 25% of the price I paid.
