On the way home we stopped off to visit some four legged friends we hadn't seen in a while.

Happy Easter from Canada. Today is bright and sunny and just a few degrees below zero. Your collages are lovely and give us a glimpse of how special it must be to live in a small French village. It's a world away from our farming town. You are lucky indeed! Have a wonderful day!
ReplyDeleteOh my! What a lovely way to spend a day. Beautiful blog!
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter Sunday, Maggie. Sadie and I are enjoying morning coffee out on the terrace this quiet morning. Birds are chirping, the air is cool, all is good! ~ Sarah
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter to you, too.
ReplyDeleteIt is cool here, too. No rain until this evening. We have had snow, hail, and a little sun this past week, here in the NW USA.
I've been busy this morning, baking desserts to take to my daughter's for dinner, later today.
Joyeuse Pâques

ReplyDeleteHi Maggie, Sounds like you had wonderful Easter. What lovely scenery for your walk. I see the ajonc blooming, the only place it is prettier than a Quimper plate is growing wild on the side of the road!

Well we aren't strangers as we have met!! Seeing your lovely mosaics reminds me of the lovely time we had in France last year. Not travelling so far this year going to Westward Ho! for our holiday this year.
ReplyDeleteLets hope the weather brightens up soon, although we do need the rain. We were hoping to get more gardening done this weekend than we have. Oh well there is always next weekend!! Have a good week, Love to you both, Jackie & Phil.x

What lovely images! I loved seeing a slice of life in Normandy on Easter morning. I hope you had a marvelous day, Maggie, despite the weather. xoxo
ReplyDeleteOh Maggie- its the simple things that make life so special. Your photos leave me wanting to walk in the meadow and also enjoy those sweet pastries with afternoon tea. You are very blessed to have these things be a regular part of your life.
