Everything is Blooming

Time in the garden is just the thing for
rest and relaxation

Why do I always think of Elmer Fudd saying that with his cute lisp?  :))
 Do you remember that too?



We had a rainy Spring and I was beginning to wonder if the sun would ever come out.
Good news!  The sun returned and everything is blooming.


Happy Lundi!

A French Hideaway


A Home for the Holidays

highlighting her delightful family holiday home in Nice France


The beautiful apartment in the heart of Nice is available for rent this summer. 

A perfect idea would be to combine a Parisian Blogger Getaway 
with a lush holiday in Nice.
