Bats? We've had one or two in the house over the past nine years that we've lived here, and a few birds. But the bats and birds eat insects, so they are desirable neighbors.<br /><br />Evelyn, hi, it's great to have garden produce, even if it's late. Maybe the good weather will last into October...Ken Broadhursthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04430899802705818716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-26687774498846348652012-08-21T19:43:40.441+02:002012-08-21T19:43:40.441+02:00Oh, that it were just one or two.

No real need. Yes, there's a fly once in a while here in Saint-Aignan, and sometimes even a mosquito, but mostly we get moths. Why be so worried about an insect or two?Ken Broadhursthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04430899802705818716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-22583874711647156502012-08-21T17:36:43.423+02:002012-08-21T17:36:43.423+02:00No screens on your windows?

You are right, the work they've done on the little house looks great. Also, I did know about Amy's house. We've been there a couple of times, and it is nice (still rustic, though). I hope Amy and Jane both have lots of renters.<br /><br />Thanks, Nadège. I started work on two other window ledges this morning. Problem with those is that I have (or Walt has) to get up on a ladder to reach them and do them right.Ken Broadhursthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04430899802705818716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-63067561033010739602012-08-21T13:09:17.909+02:002012-08-21T13:09:17.909+02:00Wow, the ledge looks so nice, all painted and refr...Wow, the ledge looks so nice, all painted and refreshed :) <br />Glad for the weather change! <br /><br />Jane told me on FB that she hadn't figured out how to see and answer comments on her blog ,but she is headed back to the U.S. today. Apparently, they have two buildings on their property in France, and so they have just finished up <i>la petite maison</i>, so they can offer it as a <i>gîte</i> in the near future. The pictures are cute! I don't know if you saw, but Amy H. has listed their Loire Valley home for vacation rentals, too. It was cool to see the rest of the house.<br /><br />JudySeine Judeet (Judith)https://www.blogger.com/profile/07407353544376132484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-23813628504055479022012-08-21T12:58:35.083+02:002012-08-21T12:58:35.083+02:00It looks so much better.
