Bouleversee--Upside Down

 

Have been a little "out of it" for the past several days.  Feeling somewhat better today. Carnaval is coming--I bought my mask.  

Then I went out to buy my paper, and Marie was completely out of La Depeche, the paper I read every day.  My addiction.  I had to "settle" for L'Independant.  Marie thought I could look upon it as a new adventure, and she is right, of course.  But I still feel turned upside down.  Je suis bouleversee.

 

My normal working spot. 

Today is spectacular-warm and full sun. It rained hard last night, and everything today is scrubbed clean.  I spent some time doing my housework this morning.  Laundry, soup making, sweeping and dusting and the kitchen is immaculate.  This afternoon I am going out to find a bench, soak up some Vitamin D, and do some writing.  Then I have a spreadsheet to work on.

I am so ready for spring, and it hasn't even been a bad winter.

Carnaval in Limoux has been going on for several weeks now.  The paper had pictures of last weekend's costumes-- the women dressed up as items found in crepes--there was a whipped cream can, another woman dressed as a bottle of Grand Marnier.  I am saving my trip there for when company arrives, so I can share the experience.  

But now--the outside is calling. The sink is clean and the lunch dishes can wait. The sunshine can't.
