Hi everyone, I’m tired.
Too tired to read everyone’s blogs, which makes me feel guilty and I’m good at guilty. But it’s planting season, which means that my wrists hurt again from wielding a spade, and typing doesn’t help them to heal. And my teaching is going to start up again. And I have my interview for the patisserie school, which will be a full-time gig if I get in. And the workers are coming back to fix our gates and give us an estimate for the kitchen. And I started my book (and actually have a plot, for once). Oh, and did I mention that I’m a mom to three small kids?
So I’m tired. I won’t hold it against you if you stop visiting my blog in the time that I’m not visiting yours. After all, what fun is unrequited love? But … sorry about that. There, I said it and can stop feeling guilty.
Here are some (okay, lots of) photos from Auvergne. It’s just pretty. You can imagine you’re there, and I can imagine I’m still there.
Hey! Let’s meet up for some fondue.
Mont-Dore
I still drool over that café viennois
Mont-Dore from afar (I think!)
Get it? Allé Luya - Hallelujah?
The dying breed of tree-lined roads
The castle
King of the castle
These windows are double glazed (made way back when)
Picnicking
Frolicking
The Little Farm
Sweet walks on the farm
The path back to our hotel
A ruined chateau
A proper chateau
And the mountains
the lakes
and more scenes from the mountains
Well ... volcanos actually
A fish can breathe out here!
I won’t include the one of us kissing, because that would just be too dorky, wouldn’t it?
What a lovely tour! Can’t wait to snap some pictures of my own tour of France:) Thanks for sharing!
PS don’t have guilt for not visiting blogs…I too go in spurts and starts. We all just do what we can!
Don’t worry about not visiting–you really have a full plate now. So excited to hear you’re writing a book!
Patisserie school? Hope it’s not as scary as Cordon Bleu. You may have another book after you get in.
Don’t feel guilty about not visiting blogs. Feel guilty about not including the dorky kissing picture.
Just kidding.
Don’t feel guilty at all.
Love the pictures. Be well. No guilt.
I love seeing your pictures..no need to write anything!!!! Since I won’t be in L’Auvergne this summer – I’m getting a little taste. MERCI!!!
Great pictures…you have a lot on your plate so take a breath and stop feeling guilty 🙂
Good Luck with the school 🙂
Next time, include the kissing picture. It’s not dorky at all…and it’s nice to see a couple who still shares affection for each other….unlike the couple I saw 25 minutes ago that were pinching each other at the local grocery store in a fight over which loaf of bread to get. I wish I was making this up.
Relax. Enjoy yourself. =) Happy planting!
I’m from Malaysia and I really enjoy reading your blog! Awesome!
Thank you Ayuni – I’ve been to Malaysia twice! 😉
