Light.

Hectic activity ahead of the July 14th holiday . The workmen were back at the crack of dawn to fill in the trenches and lay new drainage pipes. Shortly afterwards Madame Bay arrived to inventory the cleaning materials in the cupboard under the sink . Finally , the arc welder and his ever attentive wife arrived to solder some new ' privacy ' panels onto the gates that lead out to the lane. Wilf dealt with all this excitement by curling up on the doorstep , the perfect place from which to supervise . As PON's would say : ' Give light and people will find the way '.

    It is all go over there at the moment, no wonder Wilf needs a much needed rest, he has his supervisory duties to attend to as we know. The house is looking very lovely, as is Wilf! but that is a given.

    The news here is buzzing about the womens soccer team beating France yesterday and advancing to the finals. I have decided that the part I like the most is seeing the human spirit at the moment of triumph--I'm wondering if you and 'the font' will have this same look when all the work is completed, and your peaceful life returns!

    Happy Bastille Day! Wilfie looks so good it is hard to believe he is sick. Attitude is everything when dealing with situations such as this, and he certainly has plenty of it. Hugs to all, enjoy the day.

    Oh my...so pretty over there today. The rickety old farmhouse looks nothing of the sort anymore. Instead, just beautiful! Enjoy the holiday. Hugs to Wilf.

    Wilf looks attentive and handsome in front of your lovely house. Your workers seem very diligent. Such a bustle of activity! It must be Wilf's supervision that keeps them in line...

    C'est le quatorze!!!

    We agree with "anonymous" above -- what's on the menu for a proper celebration? Jake and Just Harry would be happy to share with Wilf the peanut butter/carrot cake they received as a gift from two of their foxie friends!

    Angus, may I ask what plant is growing on your home? I have a brick home and love the look of ivy, but have been told it will eat the morter, etc. I can't make out the plant on your home, but it's lovely!

    I wonder how anything would ever get done there without Wilf's supervision! *grin* It's good to see he's a master of supervising from the porch.

    Okay, I admit that I had a giggle as I saw the welder's wife still gazing on over his work adoringly. It's not that I don't love my husband, but the thought of standing around and watching him work all day, well, I don't think I'd be gazing at him with adoration all day.

    We know the tourists have descended on your little village during the summer, but we are surprised at the need for privacy panels on the gates in a small village in France Profonde. Neighboring cows getting nosy?

    Hope you had a nice Quatorze with good food and - if Wilf doesn't mind them - fireworks.
