This is one of my all time favorite photos of me on the river that was taken by my friend Marina!
Seasonal life on the waterfront on the Lot changes often.
It is often the "stage" for many of the events of my daily life in the Lot.
In fact, some might say that it's my front yard!
This is the spot that has most recently been excavated and cleaned up.
It is also where my full (or otherwise ) Moon River moon most often shows itself.
It may be: watching trees uproot as the bank erodes; noticing the difference in the view between the seasons; watching the river rise and wonder if we might be going to flood; making algae art on the stones; watching the tiny fish nibble at my bare toes; floating heart-shaped crackers; and my solitary picnics of Cahors wine, cheese, baguettes, salami and a fancy pastry.
But then there are the memories of:
lazy days with Marina and "rockin'" on the river with our water aerobics from time to time; hanging out with Dali; and, making magic with Wendy's kids, Matthieu and Sawyer back in 2004, when we watched the "swords" floating down the river and talked about how they would always be welcome here with me!
There's nothing like hearing a tiny 3 or 4 year old girl say "It's Magic" with a French accent.
The stage is set. It's been vacant for quite some time, but I have a feeling that there is about to be a revival in the years ahead.
Now, that will be something that I will be looking forward to whenever it comes!
Happy Saturday!
