Welcome
We are a retired American couple living in France, enjoying the good life with our cats. Our house is in a small hamlet among the Ste. Foy vines. We also have a sailboat that the male half of the spousal unit sailed across the Atlantic in the summer of 08. When the weather warms we will start to visit the sailing ports of Europe. Our stories chronicle our life in France: the good life, the hard life, and the sailing life.
Fritillarias and Tulips
I love 18th century Dutch tiles that depict the distinctive checkerboard flower of the fritillaria. When we travelled to Amsterdam last fall, I bought a bag of them for the small garden at the edge of the terrace. I also bought a bag of dwarf tulips called "persian" which are blooming along with the fritillaria.
