Hello, JC and thank you! It's good to be home, even though I am seeing double at the moment, trying to get a few loads of wash done before I sleep a little. Flying into Dallas yesterday was appalling- like The Day After- everything was dead and brown and terrible below us. Most people seem to have given up on their lawns, and the lakes and ponds are all rimmed in dirt where they have evaporated. It must be about 70 days now without rain. The heat has at least broken, and it was only about 88 yesterday; has it gotten cooler there? We kept reminding ourselves to enjoy it when it rained or got very chilly at night in Dijon. It was so green and damp there, flowers grew from everything. At one of the wineries, we were told that they were concerned about the rain- the grapes needed two weeks without rain to ripen for the harvest. And here we are so desperate for water. Here is our barge, the Reine Pedauque-- burgundy-canal.com Reine Pedauque means "web-footed queen"-- it's named after Berthe, the mother of Charlemagne, who had been fathered by a duck. I made that part up. It is an interesting story, though, even without the canard paternity.
