A Last Visit to Ste. Ceceile les Vignes

I know, I know! This blog needs another sunset picture like France needs more wine. This one however, I’ve included for a different reason.

As we’ve said goodbye to September, we’ve also said goodbye to this year’s vendage. There may be still some pockets of vineyards yet to be picked, but generally only at higher altitudes. And, as the vines are now barren of grapes, they have started to change colour. This is the only time that we non-grape farmers have an opportunity to see how many different grape varieties might be found in one field, since each varietal does have a different appearance as they change colour. Thus, the sunset picture in which you can see a variety of colours in the fields.
We made a final visit to the market in Ste. Cecile this morning. We were looking for figs that I guess we’ve said goodbye to as well, since they were not to be found. We did buy some veggies at this vendor. Notice the ladies with their plastic bowls full of produce waiting for a weigh-in.


I’ve also included a couple of other Ste. Cecile shots, one of the plane tree lined main street, one of the chapel with startlingly blue skies and one of the mayor's office.


After both lunch and dinner out yesterday, we humbly ate in today. It's now time to empty the larder. We've done a prepack and have determined that we're good without additional mailings. This is a good thing!
