My early youth was filled with adventures of exploring the countryside. We were living in Alsace France in a small mining village surrounded by beautiful country. My brother who was just one year older then I and a dreamer already and I explored the meadows for hours, mama called us we hid in the tall grasses, until her voice became such that we knew it was time to go home or get in trouble. Cornflowers and poppies, grasses, bees and dragonflies by the creek were capturing my imagination. Those memories are still vivid today as if it all happened just yesterday!

Memories of Provence

I'd be leisurely walking back to my gite, taking my time, sitting under trees and chewing on small blades of grass while looking up in to the sky. After a while I put my watercolor pad under my arm, smiling from ear to ear, hurrying just a bit, to get home just before dark. A light gust of wind separates me from my straw hat, and blows it just across the row of lavender behind me. I Leave it without worry, knowing it will still be there tomorrow, I'll fetch it then when I come back. Back in my gite, I'd eat something simple, break little pieces off freshly baked baguette, I love that crunchy noise it makes, remembering my grandmother, who like me, loved plain bread and a glass of wine. Later I'd fall in to bed, thinking about how lucky I am, to be in this heavenly place. ~~~~~ The next day I do it all over, walking on air, free in the countryside among the wild lavender and olive trees.
