Living in a very rural part of France, the only sign of the season we see are pumpkins. The area farmers gather their fall produce and put on an Ancient Fair. It is a delight to see and so refreshing to "step back" to times past, though I think this is pretty much present day for agrarian France. Walker and I made the little journey to our neighborhood St-Antoine L'Abbaye (11th C Abbey) where the fair was going on. Beautiful day for the event, nippy temps, but we were quickly warmed by the roasted chestnuts, hot wine, sausage, soup and a cast of characters! So, we'll share the sights of the season and we wish each of you a HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

Hey! I am so impressed! I left Walker a message on his blog about how this is going to be a year in his life he will never forget! What a great decision you made - I know it is not easy sometimes but the everyday hum-drum life isn't easy - might as well throw some adventure in there to make it interesting and memorable! Your photographs are incredible! I will check back and get your updates!
