It was quite cold and Streifi, a resident male red squirrel, moved up to this branch in about 2 meters height, and rolled up his bushy tale to warm-up himself. Cool invention by mother nature! He sat there for several minutes nearly without moving and allowed me to come really close. The image is almost uncropped at 200mm (Squirrels-2019-7071.jpg)

Butterflies seem to thrive in the heat and humidity of August and so do the flowers they love. Determined butterfly hunters are not deterred.
There's an unwritten rule in the northern hemisphere about not running the house furnace during the month of September. And in some households, this moratorium extends even through October. Not sure where this all got started. It seems to be based on one part frugality, and three parts of folklore. But who am I to argue? It's no weirder than most of the crap I write in these posts. And it does serve to get me acclimatized to the impending season change. Indoor temperature registered 59 degrees the other morning. I just shut up and donned a fleece jacket.
This is the central heating boiler of Beaumesnil castle. It's an Ideal Titan Serie 3, which was on the market in 1939 (I know that because I saw a catalogue). I don't know exactly when it was installed. But it must have been around that time. It was installed by the company Valentin & Fils & Barousse when they had their office in Paris 17e arrondissement 30, Rue des Épinettes. From 1965 to 2004 an enterprise Valentin (fils?) and Barousse existed in Aubervilliers (northeast of Paris). So, back to the installation time. There is a badge with the company's name and their telephone number on the wall. The telephone number indicated, that the badge was made after 1912. We had a bit of a discussion about if it was made between 1912 and 1926 or 1912 and 1963. Maybe the Ideal Titan series 3 was brand-new in 1926? As far as the owners of the castle go: the de Maistre lived there from 1851 to 1927, Audrey Emery 1927-1937, Dimitri Pavlovitch Romanov 1937–1939 and the Fürstenbergs bought the castle in 1939. Any of them could have bought the boiler, but I guess it was the Fürstenbergs.
