long-awaited garden days

The long awaited garden days are here!

Garden doors open, breakfast, lunch and or dinner in the backyard. My kind of season.

We enjoy the garden life, the greenery & flowers and the magic peonies inside changing color from bright pink to salmon pink to yellow during the week.

Green summer weekend greeting to you all!

deep-pile ginkgo carpet

It's that time of year again.

After a few weeks of golden glow from the ginkgo tree in the frontyard and a stunning kitchen window view, almost all ginkgo leaves have fallen.

Being in Paris for four days, we took our time for everything, no rush, what a lovely time.

Paris, city of love and romantic sunset walks along the Seine. L'amour toujours...
