Sunflowers & Gratitude


I couldn't help but noticed that many of the holiday bouquets have sunflowers in them this  year, which of course reminds me of France.
The yellow fields of sunflowers are what I dream of most when I think of my summers in Southwest France.



My son is here now for Thanksgiving & I couldn't be happier. I am smiling like the bright faces of these sunny blossoms.





I would like to wish all of my American friends a very happy Thanksgiving.

May it be filled with loved ones & beautiful sunny bouquets !

Happy wishes too to everyone Dreaming of France because especially at this time of year, I feel so much gratitude for all of my beautiful memories.

  1. Perfect, all that yellow… Paris is very grey these days.
    Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!

  2. Who would have thought to combine sunflowers and Thanksgiving, but they are always cheerful. Hope you enjoy Thanksgiving with your family. And thanks for playing along. Here’s my Dreaming of France meme

  3. I'm not sure I have a favourite flower as I like so many, but sunflowers are one of my most favourites. Particularly visions of fields of them- so gorgeous. I really like all your photos this week, but I really like the last one with all the different varieties of sunflowers, and the second one- what a sight that must have been.
