T‘was August

Never saw and experienced such a rain - we sat at our meal the complete family 

 - DH went out to check the situation and shut himself out because water

flooded into the house - we couldn‘t hear him shouting because

the rain was pouring so noisily

and down in the basement water stood already 5 cm high - 

everybody helped scooping as much water as possible

the room with the tanks - everything floating about

Good boys

carrying out



pouring into the discharge 

and when everything was finished, the water out of the basement

I had a terrible fall and could only walk with crutches about 2 weeks

then slowly I could walk with just one crutch and after some time very

carefully without any help. 

Today I take part again in gymnastics in our club - with a slight restraint

when it is about kneeling and squats.

This is ....

.... how a fabric basket comes to being. I used only batiks.

The strips are sewn onto to lining. 40 strips all together.

 

It is gathered at the bottom and stuffed circles (16 cm) are sewn to

it from inside and outside. By hand because I can't reach it by

machine.

 

 

We are in France.....

And now look what this rainy and snow melting season

brings to us.

You know from my photos of last year's innondation

This is all cow meadows. Far away on the horizon the mountain

range of the Vosges can be seen.

So entsteht ein "Marktkorb" - 40 Streifen, die man während

des Aufnähens auf das Futter ausstopft, werden anschliessend

unten auf einen kleinen Durchmesser eingereiht. Auf die Öffnung

kommen innen und aussen zwei verstärkte Stoffkreise, von Hand.

Und das bringt uns die Regen- und Schneeschmelze-Saison:

Überschwemmte Kuhweiden - in der Ferne am Horizont

sieht man die Vogesen - ja, wir sind wieder in Frankreich.

It is normal .....

.... in February

although we thought there will be no inundation because there is no snow to melt.
But obviously it rained tremendously much.
I am standing on the bridge over the otherwise tame river Ognon.
It is three times as large now.

Alongside a very small road - yes, we are again in France.
Renovation will go on.
And I will again work on the Korak-piece.

Equalising the top - it is "patchwork" in the real sense.
