Alphabet-Thursday. P is for Printemps

Can you believe it?
This is my 400th post!
I'd like to say a great big thank you to all my followers 
for supporting me since I began blogging
 almost four years ago. 
What a great time I've had, sharing my life with you and learning about yours.

Here's to the next 400!

Here in Normandy it's Printemps, again!

I'm talking about this Printemps.................


When spring takes centre stage to announce
 "All right, Mr DeMille, I'm ready for my close up".


The weather on Tuesday was lovely.
 Although still chilly we enjoyed blue skies and sunshine.
Everywhere I looked in the garden spring was bursting out all over,
to the soundtrack of a chain saw!


S the G is back!

  1. Welcome to Printemps! If it has arrived chez vous, can it be too far behind for us?

  2. I agree with Pondside...I hope our spring is not too far off. I am going to go out and investigate the garden today. It is 60 degrees!! I am really loving it. Sounds like you will have a lot going on in your garden as well. Printemps...I love the sound of that!

    XO,

  3. Congratulations on the 400 Maggie. I am happy to be your follower. Your garden says indeed printemps, beautiful and in a short time it will be hard work for you.
    We had two nice days but today it has been raining very hard most of the day. They say it will be better by tomorrow so I will keep
    my fingers crossed.

  24. I can't wait to have spring arrive here in Northern Canada. It happens so quickly. One day it seems like its winter and then before we know it, its summer. Spring doesn't last long enough.

  27. Hi Maggie! You are always welcome to come with me and Lorraine on our outings! Maybe we should head to France to see you! Spring looks beautiful, and as I was in Printemps Paris and it is indeed wonderful, your version looks even better. Happy Pink Saturday. ~Marti

  28. Congratulations on your 400th post, Maggie!
    And welcome spring. I used to love it in Michigan when I saw all the blooms finally peeking out...and bringing in the forsythia to brighten up my home.

  29. Oh, Maggie -- it looks as though you are a tad closer to Printemps than we are, though today it is to be 60F and I suspect the rest of the glory isn't far behind! It looks absolutely lovely!

  32. Congratulations! It's so fun to think how many ideas and words have been shared, isn't it?

    I am captivated by these words today: The rotivator in the potager.

    I am going to use that and think of you while I puzzle people here in Phoenix, Arizona!

    Looking forward to reading your lovely blog for years to come!

    Thanks for sharing this happy post.

    A+
