But this colorful flower market in Dordogne got La Mom's green thumb itching, malgré the chilly weather.
Here's a little taste of spring in Southwestern France:

Happy (windowbox) gardening to all of you Parisians!

I can’t go one centime over 150,000 euros for the kitchen! What am I supposed to do with that kind of money? "Jennifer"
Boy, those French. They have a different word for everything.

I like Paris. My problem is I don't like Parisians.

If I had been a dog walker, I would have been the most successful dog walker in Paris.

Baaaa Baaaa Baaaa!

The best of America drifts to Paris. The American in Paris is the best American. It is more fun for an intelligent person to live in an intelligent country. France has the only two things toward which we drift as we grow older—intelligence and good manners.

I have two loves: my country and Paris.
Josephine Baker
I have tried to lift France out of the mud. But she will return to her errors and vomitings. I cannot prevent the French from being French.

To err is human. To loaf is Parisian.

I don't want to be known as the granddaughter of the Hiltons. I want to be known as Paris.

Chérie, you must buy a 7€ bag of popcorn for the kids to feed the ducks!

I love Paris in the summer, when it sizzles.

Hi La Mom! I'm a young teen in NYC, and I love your blog. Check mine out if you have time, I'd love to hear your feedback. I'm going to live in Europe for the next few years, so reading your blog has given me a taste of what life is going to be like there (cause I know it's different from vacationing there).
Thanks so much!!!

I have the Paris weather on my iPhone and was looking at it last night thinking, "Wow it's still rather chilly there!" In all my trips, I have never had the pleasure of seeing everything in full bloom (or even not needing a heavy coat) as I tend to visit in the cooler, less expensive months!
The French sure do know how to do flowers! I guess I left Paris a week too early too see them all like that.
I keep coming back to your blog! I love visiting Paris, but as a new mother I won't be there anytime soon. Your blog helps to ease my Paris withdrawal symptoms. What is it like in Dordogne?
Great blog, love the flowers. I am a flower lover myself.
I love a good window box....have a happy weekend La Mom, xv.
wow
nice flowers
thanks for this little "bouquet" from france!
I just found your blog through the Antiques Diva... and Life just keeps getting better! ~Terri
Your comment about the weather makes me think of my trip to Paris over spring break when I was in High School. My mom and I kept singing "April in Paris" and laughing about it because we were freezing our buns off in the rain!
I love your photos of these Paris blooms! Just gorgeous! Happy Spring LA Mom!

Thank's

Hi La Mom! I've never commented, but I love your blog and read it rather religiously. Somehow, though I have no idea what you look like, your descriptions of your own style have left enough of an impression on me that when I spotted these shoes, your chic-Parisian-mother vibe was the first thing that popped into my head! You can even customize a pair for a little extra $! Enjoy :)
