20 years ago

I've been digging around in my photo archives — I guess "dig digitally" means something else — to see what things here were like and what they looked like 10, 15, or 20 years ago. Has it changed much? Not really, to my eye. Only the cast of characters (neighbors) has changed. We're still driving the same car and living in the same house. That's it below, the one farthest left in the photo, with our closest neighbors' houses to the right. The land is planted in grapevines.

This is a photo from late February in the year 2005. No, it's not snowing here, at least not today. It doesn't snow enough for us to get used to it. But forecasts say we might see sleet showers before the day is over.

  1. I have lived in the same place for 16 years, the longest in one place in my lifetime. The older I get the more settled I am.

  2. We are now 7 years in Birmingham. We moved in early February and had a little snow then. Moving to France was definitely a good decision for you and we, your readers have enjoyed seeing you settle in.

  3. That's a peaceful view :)
    We're having a spell of lovely weather, sunny, and hitting well into the 60s°F. It's such a nice change, but we're back to 40s°F and rain starting tomorrow.
