Quentin la poterie. Now, I have to say just how much I enjoy our 4th floor terrace.
The winding staircase up the stone/cement steps takes you to a glass door that looks out
to the South. The terrace is very high up, and looks out over the rooftops of several of
the village houses to the Duche in Uzes. The Duche (castle) is about 3 miles from here, with
a valley in between.
But my new favorite thing to do on a warm sunny day is to go up to the 4th floor terrace and read
a book. Of course, it always leads to a little nap. It is so pleasant up there, that it feels like
I am sitting on the beach. Part of the terrace is sunny, and part is in the shade, so you can always
choose which ever is most comfortable.
And, in the evening (the daylight doesn't fade totally until about 9:45 pm) when you sit up
on the terrace, you can watch the swallows perform aerobatic feats of twists, turns, dives and climbs
to the heavens!....just all sorts of maneuvers that defy the laws of nature! Of course, kitties like to
come up and lay out there with us! Breezy has even taken to laying in the soil of the grape
vine that is in a large pot! I am sure he misses his garden in California...but he makes do, and
seems happy!
