Bonne Fête des Mères

This Sunday is the French Mother's Day. 

Today I went to the tiny Saturday market in the little village of Varen. 

I bought geraniums to plant in the front.
Cherries & apricots ....
Bread & a morceau of fresh butter....
Peas & asparagus because they are in season
After planting my flowers I spent the rest of the afternoon shelling peas & washing lettuce.
I hope you had a productive Saturday.

To all of my French friends I wish you a 
Bonne Fête des Mères!

  2. I am simply in heaven reading this! I went to the market today too -- but I fear that while the plants I bought were lovely and the food fresh, it couldn't have been nearly the experience you enjoyed!

  3. If you like good food and interesting markets then there is surely no better country to live in than France.
