Am actually looking forward to some 90 degree temps later this week.<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by my blog.

Fond memories although I'm only almost 61! LOL Your living room does look cool for your hot weather. I wish it was warmer here as I'm in jeans, tee, hoodie and have the heat on while at the computer! It's about 65 outdoors and cloudy. Oh for some real summer weather in the northeast! Have a great week Mary.

I know of several English natives who have moved to France and understand that there are villages in France that have a large English population. I wonder, do you know of any English villages that have mostly French people living there? I wonder if it works both ways.<br /><br />The first couple of years of my life were spent in Provence near lavender fields and since them I always have lavender around. I did not know it grew in North Carolina – I’ll go there for sure. I tried to grow it here but it does not do well in Georgia clay and under all our pine trees. Your décor is beautiful - I could not have white here with my two cats, it would be hard to keep it white.Vagabondehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10774109692564954568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7310317081887553860.post-11184514115135122732011-06-26T08:16:46.786-04:002011-06-26T08:16:46.786-04:00We just visited the new C&B about a month ago,...We just visited the new C&B about a month ago, and I loved it, too. I purchased a new knife, some darling dessert spoons, three white very small milk bottles, and something else, but I can't remember.<br /><br />Both of your living rooms looks so cool, fresh and inviting.<br /><br />We're longing for some rain. We are trying to keep our roses and azaleas alive, but our once lush green grass is so sad.Beverlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10535622044396271722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7310317081887553860.post-26826693035499054162011-06-26T05:59:03.832-04:002011-06-26T05:59:03.832-04:00Mary , I have just enjoyed seeing the second week ...Mary , I have just enjoyed seeing the second week of your holiday. Your photographs are beautiful and you really fill each day with such lovely adventures. Back home and living with your hot summer weather, the lavender party was so lovely and I could image the smell on that hot day, beautiful. The White rooms do look so cool and inviting.<br />Here we are having lots of rainy days, everywhere is growing and so green. It is very much strawberry and cream scones, tennis, and lots of rain.
