It seems crazy to be in such deep Paris memories this month, but some places
live in your soul. Paris and escaping is a delightfully positive dream.
Another wonderful thing is gardening, and the gardening store we enjoy
was crammed today with people on a spring high you'd have to see to
believe -- smiling, laughing pushing carts of flowers, making decisions,
enjoying every moment. We planted two planters in the front of the house,
and that's a nice start.
We also bought blue morning glories (one of my favourites), and white cleome,
which will be amazing. Plus Jens the farmer from Marvellous Edibles at the
market sold me a bouquet that is exceptional.
Here's what I wrote last year about a wonderful time in Paris:
"We have been lucky to visit Paris 3 times in the past two years.
And even luckier to make friends along the way. Jean Philippe
Grelaud manages a lovely art store near the hotel where we
stay in Paris -- Maison de Haute Couleur Charvin. He is a
wonderful artist, and a treat to visit in the store, even when we're
just walking by to the restaurants we visit around the corner from
our hotel.
This past visit he asked us to come for aperitifs with him
and his wife Sophie Ghuzel. Sophie is also an artist, and we had
so much fun visiting them, seeing their art, enjoying a
sweet wine, delicious pastries, and glazed strawberries.
Steven and I stumbled along in our awkward French, and
still had riveting conversations, lots of laughs and so much
fun.
Thank you Jean Philippe and Sophie."
Have a loving your life day.
