Water has a language from deep within.
Caressing stone. Smoothing its edges through steadfastness.

Gabriel circles the fountain in our village.
Counts another lap with his little toy car.

Then another lap.

He was circling the fountain, circling the living source. It felt so symbolic to me as I watched.

Love moves like water, nourishing roots we cannot see, finding every small opening, carrying yesterday into tomorrow

Childhood is a fountain of youth.

crisp mornings, summery afternoons. We took the little boat out, packed a picnic to have at sea.

warm quiches and baguettes from the baker, two chucks of cheese, wine, water, homemade tapenades and chips.

Lovely friends to spend the day together.

a beautiful view looking back at Cassis. We didn’t go far, no need to.

I never tire of admiring Cap Camille. The fifth largest cliff in Europe.

back at the port, the water captured the view of the façades – modern art floating.

cassis colors welcoming us back to land.

what did you do today ?

Happy Birthday Mom!

Ninety-one today.

My mom.

Sharp. Funny. Still winning at cards.

She remembers everything. Witty as lightening too. 

I don’t know how many cookies she’s made over the years. A million? More? Pulls out the recipe every time though she knows it by heart. Baking love, goodness, and faithfulness.

Before eight this morning she’d already had four birthday phone calls. By the end of the day there will be many more, and visits, cards, and admiration.

That’s a generous beautiful testament to who she is.

Faithful. Generous. Present.

Ninety-one years!

Lotsa love to you xxx

Let me take you inside Provence.

Come with me into my friends’ homes for dinner, wander through my favorite shops, and step behind the façades to discover places and people that are Provence.

We’ll find inspiration around every bend, take long drives through the countryside, linger over late dinners, and collect memories along the way.

But be warned—our days will be full. Intentionally full. Filled with “I want live here!”, laughter, conversations in franglais, kisses on both cheeks, discoveries, and unforgettable moments.

Come follow me.
