Lets party

Spring is nature's way of saying, "Let's party!" ~Robin Williams

This week we saw the first day of spring......yippee, it has been such a marvelous week weather wise.

This week I am searching for springtime words for my French class. Prof would like us to write about springtime (printemps).

I have been making a start in the garden with the help of a friend, and we are eager to make progress before the weather cools again. It is good to have things to look forward to even if they are only veggies!!

Springtime in the forest



The French word for bloom is floraison.

The French word to develop flower buds is bourgeonner.

Etymology for the word eager.

Ah, but there's nothing better than eating fresh veggies from your own garden. Soon time for me to start working on mine. :)

It is fabulous in the countryside, FF....yes even in the towns there is a light feel in the air.

LadyF...I was a little sad that the snow missed us, but now I hope that it stays away till the winter.

TF...New life, new start, new hope!
