The sky was really pretty yesterday morning at sunrise. Temperatures were low, however, and I put on a corduroy shirt and a jean jacket for my walk with Tasha. You can see how green the grape leaves are now.
And the red-wine grapes are already starting to turn purple. I remember that in the great heat wave of 2003 the grape harvest started in August. That was unheard of back then. The wines were very good too. I hope they are good this year too. We're supposed to have high temperatures up in the 80sF or even in the 90s, by the end of the week.
The flowers that are blooming now look a lot better than the flowers that bloomed in June and the early part of July. Those flowers were scorched by high temperatures and a hot sun. Back then, our part-time neighbor across the road arrived from Paris. She was lamenting the fact that all her roses and other flowers had been burned by the sun, and she had neglected to ask anybody to water them.
This house in our hamlet, which is a little neighborhood made up of nine houses, is operated as a vacation rental. It used to be an Air BnB place, but I'm not sure what agency the owner works with these days. It's pretty expensive because it sleeps 10 people, and it doesn't seem to be rented very often.

What a sky!
ReplyDeleteThat's a beautiful house.
ReplyDeleteAgreed, that's a beautiful house. I always enjoy seeing pictures of the grapes and it looks so lush this year. I think that's a crepe myrtle in the picture on the left. They were quite popular in my home town of Dallas. As were mimosas at one time (the tree, not the drink).
