Will it rain, probably not.

Buying and planting hydrangeas took up most of the morning.  After, we called with a friend who is having knee trouble and were surprised to see him hobbling about on a stick.  Later, I walked down to watch the village bread oven being fired up in a test run for next week's "fete du pain".  The small barn belonging to our neighbour, Pierre, was glowing in the sun, yet the storm clouds were gathering, just another example of this summer's bizarre weather.  Extra is another example of little pieces of installation art that seem to be everywhere in our village.
