Le Printemps


I got here just in time to see all the trees in bloom. I wish I had the time to stop and take pictures of everything that is beautiful here, but that would require becoming a full-time photographer, and risking car wrecks every 15 minutes or so when pulling over to the side of the road suddenly to capture the magnificent scenery.

I love the small park that runs behind my house (see previous post from when I made the offer to buy) and here's another reason why.

A place to stay in Paris

Although before the end of the year I hope to be able to offer my Parisian pad to out-of-towners, for now it is not nearly in good enough shape to do so. However, a friend of mine is offering her cute abode for minimum stays of 3 nights or longer. She's listed on the following website, but if you go through me, you get a significant discount (€100/night - €500/week - €2000/month).
Check it out!

Scenes from my backyard

Moving, as they say, is one of the most stressful events in any person's life. I'm not going to tell you any different. Buying a house has been wonderful and terribly scary, exciting and exhausting, overwhelming in both good and bad ways. Thus far, the good outweighs the bad, and I'm thankful for that. I'm too worn out to write much more, but I wanted to share some photos of my backyard when I arrived last Wednesday, and then this week's image of Sheba basking in the sun. He has adjusted to the new home better than I could have ever expected. Not bad for a cat of 17!
