Monday again...it was a "Mellow Yellow" kind of a day.
This morning... household chores, some cleaning up and tidying with the windows open with sunshine and fresh air filling the cottage.
As the day progressed, the temperatures kept rising...I had a walking date today with Madame M and off we set early this afternoon.
We walked a familiar route on the rue de la Gare to the train station, and onto Domaine Gaury, then a new addition to the walk was introduced through the farm lanes and forest and around to the other side with a stop to say hello to some other friends of Madame M.
These friends had just arrived this weekend for a quick working holiday at their "movie perfect" property.
Here we were warmly greeted and rehydrated with some delicious apple juice and then a glass of champagne.
Everywhere I looked today there were many shades of yellow... the shining sun, the various wildflowers, buttercups, spurge, the grapevine leaves and the yellow stone walls of a deserted farm house and even the flowers in the arrangement at Madame M's friends.
Now, the late evening sun is throwing long shadows with the direct sunlight tinted yellow...a very mellow day!
