It all started when the dog threw up on the couch this morning at 4 o'clock. We were planning to get up early, because Walt had a 9 o'clock appointment with a doctor in Blois. He ended up leaving here at 7'30 and arrived about a half hour early at the doctor's. We didn't know how slow traffic would be. It was not a problem. He just this minute got back. More tomorrow...
Meanwhile, here's a picture I took yesterday afternoon. You can see our house through the trees on the right, and our garden shed toward the middle of the image.

Hoping that all is well with everything for Walt... I'm wondering if this is related to the hurt back or shoulder he spoke of a little while back?
ReplyDeleteIt's his back and arms. Not arthritis like mine, but carpal tunnel in one arm. Now he has to go see our doc. in Saint-Aignan to see what treatments might be appropriate.
DeletePretty sky.

Nice to read you again, BettyAnn. Hope all goes well.
DeleteThank you, Ken. Arrived home from our summer in MN where renovations on our church house continue. Lots of work but very satisfying.

Hope the dog is OK....beautiful picture today though.
ReplyDeleteTasha seems to be fine this morning. No more puking. We go through episodes with her like this one every few months. Usually she doesn't throw up on the soft just on the floor.
DeleteHope they’re both feeling well this evening. It gives me such pleasure to see the views of round and about your home, a beautiful area in which to live. Well, only three weeks to the winter equinox, and we can look forward to the light evenings returning, always a day to celebrate on the farm. Goodo! Pats🚜
ReplyDeleteI like your optimism! With so many hours of darkness every day, this is a poor season for photography.
DeleteI just caught up on yesterday’s post. I loved it. You are too humble about your creativity in the kitchen. I bet Walt’s pretty good in the kitchen too. Thank you for all the Thanksgiving food pictures and for telling us about the old days you spent in France. I really enjoy hearing about those memories. I can just see you preparing something delicious in that tiny kitchen you had at the time. You must have made quite a good impression on the French families that invited you to dine with them at home. It usually takes decades with the French for newbies to be included in family dinners. C.
ReplyDeletePS: I hope Natasha’s okay. By the way, we had an earthquake in the Okanagan the other day. No shake, rattle or roll or damage. However, it sounded like a super loud crack of lighting or like a bomb went off beside our house. It was raining that night and we thought it might have been a boulder sliding down from higher elevations. What a surprise next day to find out that it was an earthquake. C.
ReplyDeleteI remember earthquakes like that in California. One in particular: at our house, where I was, there was no shaking or rolling, just a loud noise that sounded like two big trucks colliding. Walt was at SF city hall in a meeting when it happened, and there there was a whole lot of shaking goin' on, he said. I don't remember where the epicenter was, but our house was only 3 miles south of City Hall.

ReplyDeleteMopping up vomit at 4 a.m. is not much fun. Poor Tasha. I sometimes think her vomiting is emotional. She senses when our routine is changed and gets scared.
