Where is Spring?

Never before has our adventure felt so far away!

Maybe the length, harshness and bitter cold of our "Southern Ontario" winter has played a factor in these feelings.

The past two days we have felt milder temperatures with the birds singing and sunbathing on the roof of the neighbour's garden shed.

There has been more hours of sunlight each day with promises of "Spring" like weather!

And then ... Tonight I checked the forecast ... predictions of plummeting, icy cold temperatures and again more snow! Will it ever end?

This year's adventure has been delayed due to a prior commitment.

Fot the past two years we have extended our trips to France to three month long stays.

Our rendezvous in 2012 began on March 1st and found us settling in at our rented cottage at "5 rue Marsis" Gourdon .

Gourdon is a medieval town in the Lot Valley and not far from the Dordogne region of France.

                          

In 2013 our adventure began a month later with our arrival in Toulouse on April 4th. 

We travelled for two hours in our rented vehicle and finally found this year's cottage in Dégagnac ... "Beaucaillou".

 It seems Spring has arrived in this area of France, my friend Madame M has posted some beautiful photos of daffodils in bloom in her garden.

Monsieur Honey jokingly said that our daffodils are six feet tall underneath their blanket of snow!
