hank you for joining this weekly meme. Grab a copy of the photo above and link back to An Accidental Blog. Share with the rest of us your passion for France. Did you read a good book set in France? See a movie? Take a photo in France? Have an adventure? Eat a fabulous meal or even just a pastry? Or if you're in France now, go ahead and lord it over the rest of us. We can take it.
Surely, I must be dreaming of France to get through all of the cleaning and boxing and storing that I am doing. If France was not dangled at the end as the prize, I would never make it.
So here's a picture of me in Jardin du Luxembourg, literally dreaming in France. This was on our last morning in France.
Maybe you already knew this, but I had never noticed before:
Some planter palm trees in the Luxembourg gardens.
We watched an exercise class (would I ever be brave enough to join in, in Paris?) and then we sat near the pond and watched children play and people pass by..
It was heavenly.

I love the photo of you (literally) dreaming of France. You are so close to that dream now.
We had a palm tree like that in our yard, but only about up to my shoulder height. Unfortunately it died. When we dug it out, the roots went down a good 12 feet. So I wonder how that huge palm manages to survive in that little planter.
Good luck with the house!
I can't imagine what it must be like to prepare for such a move. I struggle just cleaning out a junk drawer! And I suspect that it is quite an emotional journey as you pare down your life to just the most essential and sentimental items.
i absolutely adore France and Paris in particular. I've been lucky enough to go several times and twice for extended stays. It's always been a dream of mine to live there. you're very lucky!
You look divinely content! I love Luxembourg -- perfect spot for a rest!

Friends, Thanks so much for your comments and linking up with Dreaming of France. I'm sitting in a coffee shop while an Open House is going on at my house, so I finally have time to respond to links you left.
Deb, I really appreciate all of your French posts -- recipes and books.
Francetaste, It seems like a palm tree should grow in your area. Maybe it was the pot.
Noreen, I still have junk drawers. :{
Susie, I loved seeing all your books set in Paris.
Jeanie, Thanks for playing along. I always enjoy your France posts too.
Philippe, Sorry that Trump invaded Paris. At least you are free of him most the time. I was able to click on your link and see your beautiful Facebook photo, but I couldn't leave a comment. Triste! The link with the French military bands playing Daft Punk, among others was priceless. I could have used a little less Donald Trump.
Victorian Tailor, Thanks. I need some more of that sun and relaxation.
Jacqui, I'm being alert so I'm ready to jump at the chance.
