After a week, today was laundry day. Afterward we took a walk with our hostess, Deb, down the road toward the neighboring village, Valquieres, to visit our new friends Denis and Paulette. Paulette is helping to organize our concert.
Denis is a marvelous gardener/landscaper with a peculiar talent with cactus and other succulents. He's a real nice guy, too. He took us for a tour of his garden though he's starting to prepare for cooler weather.
Dennis grows fruits and vegetables, too, and we sampled some little orange fruits that reminded us of a cross between a strawberry and a peach.
Dennis and Paulette also raise animals and take in strays, etc. including a dog and cat, a horse, three pregnant goats, and three friendly donkeys
.
We'll post more a bit later in the week.
