Artichoke, Rue de Bourget

We had. two giant artichokes from the market. Against all odds, the hearts were soft and wonderful.
 

Thursday social, Saignon

Every Thursday, in the Salle des Fetes there is a social gathering at 6:00 to relax and catch up with friends. Wine and beer are very inexpensive and people bring nibbles to eat, most of it homemade. It's a lovely way to end the day. They. even put up with my French!

Hollyhock, Saignon, 37 Rue de Bourget

This tough little plant shows up every year at a corner of our garden. It looks great in. the wet Spring months and slowly declines in the sun and heat. This year it flowered!
 

Figues, Saignon


 Sadly, these were still hard as rocks the whole time we were there.

Ian and David, Auribeau

Here, David attempts to teach Ian the ancient Provencal practice of broom sniffing...to no avail.
 


 David and his lovely wife Zoe took us on a field trip to a meadow in Auribeau and pointed out all of the interesting flora.
