‘Blooming Apple Trees’
‘summer picnic under the blooming apple trees’ Over the weekend, my hubby and I had a picnic in an apple garden that was filled with beautiful fragrant white flowers.

The house is freshly organized smelling of clean linens and body lotion where now I’m lounging on a comfortable riviéra maison feeling good dreaming away. I’ve made myself a special breakfast with freshly…

Garden Dreams
My Secret Garden I have always dreamed of having my own garden where I could plant lots of flowers… white of course, a variety of herbs and even some vegetables. Home grown and totally organic straight from the garden would certainly taste amazing just because they are self-made. I would love having garden parties where…
