JC and I know where to recycle glass and paper in Venasque.
We took a load of bottles and paper over there one day and I took some more photos of the very silent streets. This is the cliff the village is built on...
Already there were more leaves and buds to be seen and most of the cherry trees were in bloom. I love the tender green of the new leaves it is such a pretty contrast with the stone cliffs.
On Tuesday after our exercise class (here is the view from the window of the salle in which we workout)
we had an errand to do...Thursday will be Maya's 6th birthday and JC and I went over to Le Pontet (site of a huge shopping center) just on the outskirts of Avignon to check out bikes in this store.
Driving over to Decathlon you go through the countryside and from the car window I took some pictures of the fields of yellow mustard which had just begun to bloom...almost Van Gogh wouldn't you say??
As we drove along this is what came on the radio...;-)))
Whenever I walk along the streets in Carpentras there is always something new that pops up. I had never noticed this interesting sundial on the side of this building before. Gives the months and the time too I think.
The bright yellow is showing up everywhere this year along with some other very strong, bright colors. See my black legs in the photo above???
A few more photos here of our drive over to Joucas. The little streets are very enjoyable to walk through and it was so warm and cozy it was really nice to feel warm!!
We took Maya to see a play on Tuesday and I will write more about that in another post but the added treat for me was to get to hold Oscar and have him give me a look!!!
Here are some new signs of spring and the first wild poppies growing along the sides of the road.
Bonne journée!!
Fun post...I love seeing Oscar...he is looking like a real person already and Maya seems to be easing into the role of big sister. It's nice though that you are going to give her a ton of attention on her bday. Don't we all need it?:) I also loved the shot of the reflection of your legs...pretty funny. And the yellow of the mustard plants is pretty spectacular, given that it is mustard. It makes a nice photograph the way you framed it and all. Ok I will be in touch...saludos a mon petite chou:)
ReplyDeletePS...I will think of the view from your excercise "salle" when I gaze out the window of 20-20-20...though as you know, it won't be through a gigantic window that is ajar...that is really beautiful.
