J’adore France

J’adore France

I discovered Pinterest last fall and it quickly became my new obsession! One of the things  that surprised me (a little) is how many women are francophiles like me. Totally in love with France and everything French. You can find some amazing photos of Paris sites and other French villes. It's a great way to plan a trip abroad or at least day dream … [Read more...]

It's finally spring! We had such a warm winter, it's hard to complain about spring being a little late. In fact everything started blooming so early, most spring flowers are done.  My lilacs bloomed weeks too early and only part of the bushes had flowers.  The sun is shining this week and I wish my garden was filled with these beautiful, luscious … [Read more...]
