Summer to Fall ...

As the seasons change I find myself longing for a bit more of "Summer"... We spent the first part of Summer in France and Spain this year.

The last of the leaves on our Maple tree ... 

    

                       

I do like the Autumn/Fall in Canada until the time that we must put the furnace on to add some heat to the cooler days and put the lights on earlier to add brightness to the shorter days.

Beautiful container gardening in Lagrasse, France ...

Apéros in the courtyard at Sainte - Hélène chambre d' hôte in Olonzac, France 

            

An afternoon in Bandol, France watching the boats get ready for the regatta ... in the waters of the

Mediterranean  

Fresh fruits and produce from the French markets...

Wandering tiny streets in French villages....

 

Walks high above the Atlantic Ocean in Bidart, France ...

Alfresco lunches under the shade of the beautiful Plane trees ...

Summer foods ... fresh, delicious salads ...

And so much more ... Long walks on the trails and in the parks, play dates with the grandchildren, fun in the water swimming and playing, potluck barbecues, fish frys with family and friends.

                

Soon we will be heading South for our usual escape and as Msr. Honey says " for us this trip extends the Canadian Summer that we've recently bid farewell!" 

                         What is your favourite "Season"?
