Poppies Popping Out Already

It is unusual for me to post more than once in a day, but on yesterday's bike ride towards Mount Brun I noticed that the first poppies of the season were beginning to come out along the road.  I wasn't prepared to stop then, but today I went back to scoop a couple to scan to share with you.  So many of my friends and family love poppies that I just had to squeeze this post in between all the Mélange-ing Magic I'm doing these days.  Maybe this will make up for all the posting I won't be doing while I'm in the states this month.  We don't have fields of poppies yet.  These were found between the train track wall and the road.  I got off my bike and parked it on the side to run over and get these.  I almost got bumped off by a speeding car and then a speeding bicycle.  Then, it was so windy I was afraid all the petals were going to blow off and I'd arrive back at the Chatette with just little black nubs.  But, we made it.  Hope you enjoy them!

So-You Are Ready to Mix Some Magic!

Dawn broke beautifully this morning, pushing me out the door with my camera in the pocket of my overalls to capture some magic moments for you here. 

If you are ready to come and mix your magic with ours, there are a number of things you need to know to be able to consider whether this opportunity is a match for you:

There is a one-time fee of $500;

You will be provided with a single bed (bedding, towels and washcloth) in a large room that sleeps 4 with a floor to ceiling french doored window that opens to the Lot River. (See photos below) These are SHARED ACCOMMODATIONS;

Your bed must be scheduled for a minimum of two-weeks up to a maximum of one month;

You are responsible for YOUR following expenses:  Transportation, Food and Meals, Alcohol, Laundry, Toiletries, Tourist Activities, Phone, and Internet;

All fees are non-refundable/No Ops of More than a Month/No Exceptions.

This is an opportunity for INDIVIDUALS to come on your own to mix your own personal magic in the Lot.

Tomorrow I'll describe more of our history and the area.  If you are interested in seeing more photos of the Chatette and the surrounding area, I have set up a photo album in the side-bar entitled: "Mélange-Photos".  I'll be adding more in from time to time to give you an idea of the inside of the Chatette and the accommodations available.  As Mélange-ing Magic unfolds in greater detail for you here over the next few days, I hope you'll leave a comment or contact me at [email protected] if you have any specific questions or want information that I may not have provided.
