Another fresh, sleeves down, morning. The PONs love this cooler weather. As they race round the orchard it's clear they've become TurboPONs. We sit on the storm drain. Bob is told, as he's told every morning , that this is his country. He wonders if Tom Cotton or Lindsey Graham have replaced Jim Mattis but I tell him 'not yet'. We wave as the young garagiste rushes by in the little black Citroen. Sophie looks for the shrew that she buried somewhere for safe keeping earlier in the week. She has little luck. A shrew in the mouth is worth two in the ground.
At the supermarket a new brand of 'gourmet' chicken coated dog chew on display . $12 for a pack of 5.
We're early at the bakers. Is the strawberry tart one of yesterdays or the advance guard of today's production ?
Behind the barn we maintain a wilderness area for the hedgehogs and butterflies. Once a year it gets cut back. Loic happily works away in the undergrowth with the battery operated strimmer. For him being allowed to use the battery operated strimmer is high excitement. He chats happily away to the ( invisible ) hedgehogs and the very visible butterflies that swarm round him. A deer wanders over to see him. He is not in the slightest bit bothered at being seen communing with the local wildlife. PON owners can understand this. When Loic finishes in the hedgehog garden he will be rewarded with the chance to use the lawn tractor.
What a wedding that would have been: https://www.msn.com/en-us/lifestyle/lifestyle-buzz/this-bride-canceled-her-wedding-after-guests-refused-to-pay-her-dollar1500-attendance-fee/ar-BBMvYKk?li=BBnb7Kz

Loic, chatting happily to the invisible hedgehogs, is in so many ways so much wiser than the woman featured in today's link.
That area looks like a great place for longterm storage of shrews and nondestructable toys.
It would be if the PONs were allowed in there but the hedgehogs are safely fenced off from the shrieking diva !
Loic, unlike the lady in the story, would have no interest in being like a Kardashian for a day !
The little strawberry tarts with meringues look ok.
We can't believe that bride - how rude. If you can't afford a big wedding don't have one. Get married at the courthouse and go to the pub for dinner. My family had a $300 wedding which worked fine for everybody.
Oh no! I hadn't heard that news about Mattis. Guess one shouldn't be surprised given the daily insanity we're living with. Graham has been playing a lot of golf with the president lately. Possibly laying the groundwork?
Glad to hear Loic is back on the premises. I've been wondering about him.
I'd be wary of the origins of dog chewies these days. Have heard assorted bad things about some ingredients.
Hooray for hedgehogs and butterflies.
Cotton in lieu of Mattis? Stop the world, I want to get off.

am late visiting today - have been out communing with nature. Yes, I'm a tree-talker. What to say? Loic and the YAMster, connected via the undergrowth! "Susan", on the other paw, appears to have had a serious communication breakdown! YAM xx
