Notre maison en France

This a photo of the west-facing side of our house, which overlooks the back yard. I took it yesterday morning.
We bought the house in the spring of 2003 and have been living here since June of that year.

Clouds over the vineyard

Just a picture today.

Entering our hamlet from the west

We've been on a weather roller coaster for the past two or three weeks. High temperatures were at or even above 95 degrees Fahrenheit during the month of May. We experienced an unprecedented heat wave, considering it's not even summer yet. Now it's June and it's chilly outside and in the house too — almost cold is how it feels, because it's also very windy. Much of of France is getting rained on. I'm getting weather whiplash. We're under a thunderstorm watch today as well.

Montpoupon, a hunting lodge.

This is the Château de Montpoupon. It was built in the 15th and 16th centuries

 on the site of a 13th century fortress of which only the tall round towers remain. 
It's only a short drive south of Montrichard, and a slightly longer one from Saint-Aignan.

I don't think I took this photo of Montpoupon; I think our friend Sue from California did when

she was here for a few months in 2006. I found it on my laptop this morning.
