Can you tell the words are in the shape of the Death Star?

May 18 - I don't get tired of taking pictures of the buildings in our town and their colorful shutters and perfect symmetry.
May 19 - It's outdoor eating season in France.
As soon as the temperatures warm up here people are picnicking and eating outside. We don't naturally have this habit, growing up in Alabama where not only is it hot and humid, mosquitoes are a big deterrent. The first summer we lived here we did have a lot of mosquitoes, but last summer wasn't so bad.
