Beaucoup de bonnes nouvelles

The sun is out this morning, and the roofer's coming this afternoon. How fine is that? Maybe we won't have to worry about leaks any more.


Yesterday we cleaned out the freezer. We threw out quite a bit of old stuff, mostly UFOs ("Unidentifiable Frozen Objects"). Spring cleaning in summertime.


I washed clothes last night and this morning I'll be able to hang them out on the line to dry. Simple pleasures.


I'm going to try to get my hair cut this morning. Madame Barbier has been absente and her salon de coiffure has been fermé since about June 1. I called her number on Saturday and the message on her répondeur told me she planned to re-open the salon today. Mes doigts sont croisés.


A week from tomorrow I'll be taking the train to Paris to spend a few days with CHM and do some shopping, dining, and sight-seeing. I wish Walt could come with me but somebody has to stay here with the dog and the cat. He and I are both hoping for good weather next week.

    As you say, simple pleasures, but they really count.
    I hope the roofer comes up trumps.

  3. Your new header is beautiful, so are the flowers. Looking forward to your trip to Paris. Too bad Walt cannot accompany you.

  7. Let's hope the roofer finds the real cause of the leak and does a brilliant repair job, solving the problem for once and for all. Keeping my fingers crossed. Have a great time in Paris! Martine

  8. Good News is so CHERRY - (oops!, CHEERY!!!) Those cherries look delish and I'm betting you both have been looking up les recettes des cerises. I can't wait!

    Lucky you! Just a simple train ride and you're in Paris! Let's hope you have sunshine there, too!

  10. Toutes les photos sont belles, mais je suis intrigué par la plante sur la première. Les fleurs ressemblent à celles de la sauge des prés, mais avec des couleur exubérantes.

  12. I've been cutting my own hair for more than thirty years. Think of the money I've saved! It's so easy with the tools one can buy these days.
