Heat wave hits Les Bassacs

Terry's week ushered in the canicule, or heatwave, with temperatures in the high 30's.  High summer has arrived, sun all day long, nice out painting in the morning but the swimming pool very welcome in the afternoon.  The fruit has come into its own with basketfuls of fresh local peaches, figs and nectarines.  Fortunately these very old houses have nice thick walls so inside it stays cool.  Early mornings are delicious, bright and cool.
