Bonjour tous la monde, we are now halfway through the week and today is market day. Up early as usual to take the dogs on their walk. It was a bit of a nightmare this morning, as the hunting season has just started. When we reached our clearing to go uphill towards home there was a hunter with his two dogs. So we turned to go back and on the way Bob the male boxer spotted the hunter. So off he went, and all the shouting and yelling didn't make a bit of difference. He ran after the hunter and two dogs, so we just continued on hoping he would follow. Of course he did in the end, but then Lou (the female boxer) and Bob preceded to take a paddle in dirty stagnate water. When we got home they had to go into the garage as they were too dirty. Another beautiful day, blue skies and sunshine, and of course a snooze at the pool.
The market in Realmont today was quite quiet, all the holiday makers are now returning home. The stalls are starting to dwindle and all the vegetable seedlings are for the autumn and winter. We might plant some cabbage or broccoli, but we will have to clean up the vegetable garden more before we plant any fall crops. All the summer fruiting rasberries need to be cut back. We have had such an abundance of tomatoes this year, and most of them have been skinned, chopped and packed for freezing. Some have been made into tomato soup.
With the hunting season now started we will have to keep an eye on the dogs.
