I'VE BEEN REMISS NOT TO SEND YOU PHOTOS OF FRANCE! This summer has been mild, and although we had a wet winter and spring, the summer has turned out to be dry. The farmers are once again visiting the local lakes and ponds daily to fill up their tractor-pulled water tanks to be able to provide enough water for their (beautiful) Limousin cattle. So, without further ado, I am going to share some photos of our life here, without talking too much!
We went to the seaside! I love standing on the edge of the Atlantic Ocean in France and imagining that if I would only look hard enough, I could see America on the other side.
Passing cornfields while biking in La Creuse.
We discovered this small church in Sainte-Marie-de-Ré on Ile de Ré; with a model boat hanging there, a gift from the families of men who were saved in a storm.
I hope that you and your family are doing well. I'll be returning to Georgia in October and wonder what we will find there. The cases of Covid-19 are very, very low here, and I feel a little uncertain about returning to a country where the cases are so high. But the strong urge to see my family (and friends, bien sûr!) again is overriding my hesitations. My silk-painting class scheduled for October has been cancelled due to uncertainty about gathering in groups; I apologize to those of you who have already enrolled or planned to take the class. I'll let you know as soon as a new class is scheduled.
