With our weather continuing to be on and off rain, it was difficult to continue to move forward on my outside excavation project for the terrace. So, I opted to keep moving forward inside the cave.
How much more unattractive can one person look?
But, when you're blowing, sweeping, washing and scrubbing a stone floor-all this gear AND overalls are essential.
After the sweep and the blow, I got down to washing down the stones in the center of the cave. You'll notice that there are gorgeous stones down the middle, with cement alley-ways on each side. You can see from from the shot at the top the half-way point.
I probably hadn't gotten down to this much detail since the first vernissage back in 2008!
The overhead florescent ighting is severe, but once I flipped the switch on Patrick's lighting that he installed just for us and the vernissages...we were GRAND!
I truly love touching and feeling the stone. I'm in the right place. The Chatette is stone and we're surrounded by it in the valley. Is it any wonder that the stone speaks to me?
Today, back to the cave to check yesterday's finished work and attack the wooden door and window shutter. I'd like to varnish the door before the event. We'll have to see if the weather cooperates!
Happy Saturday!-Welcome to the Cave...
And that's only good for me that France is one of your favorite places to go. Overalls or not, we all do okay-you, Bodil, and me. I'm really going to be looking forward to hearing about your upcoming trip. It's all so exciting to me. Got all the iron work painted today...tomorrow back to the terrace or maybe some varnishing! Lots of Love to you and Bodil-Laury and Sam

yes, perhaps next year! it turns more and more out as if France is one of our favorite places to go, and thanks for your overall photo, I love you as the person you are, overalls are sort of symbols for the way of life, we share, but there are probably people in overalls I don't like or love, and Bodil is lovely even she very seldom wears overalls :) have a nice Sunday with full of work , love niels and bodil

HUGE MERCI, Niels...now you know I know you just love me for my overalls (just teasing)! I thought of you particularly when I took those pictures-I knew they were important. It's been a lot of work and still more to do to have us ready for the 26th. I surely do hope that some year you and Bodil can join us for the event-it really is special and I have a feeling that next year will be even bigger and better-I'll have had much more time.Lots of Love to you and Bodil-Laury and Sam
