There are updates on our plans to move, but I've had a trying weekend, so I'm going to soothe my frustration by just sharing a few photos of France.

We spent just a morning in Montepellier, but look how beautiful and swept clean it is. 

We found a cafe for coffee and tea. The waiters were preparing for lunch, so they were herding
the coffee drinkers into the tables without umbrellas. Luckily,  we got there in time to find some shade. 

This was an unusual building that we saw in the center of Montpellier,. The librarie sauramps is a bookstore and then the tiered building above it is an Ibis hotel, which is a chain in France. 

 You can see that it was a beautiful sunny day. I can't wait to return and have more days like this.

What is it about France that makes even the approaching winter more acceptable?
Here's a photo taken in Autumn in Montmartre of an outdoor cafe. Yes, I'd be willing to sit outside and drink some mulled wine. Not in Ohio, but in Paris. Mais oui!

Grace took this picture when my blogger friend Linda Mathieu accompanied her on a tour of the area. Someday soon, I plan to get over to France and meet Linda in person too. 

Hope you all are enjoying your French dreams. Please visit each other's blogs to see what everyone else is sharing.

Autumn is my favorite time of year.
I know people say that autumn makes people ready to start something new -- a new school year or a return to the job. For me, I really long for France in Autumn. I've had two terrific vacations in France in the fall. 
So here are a couple of photos of Autumn in France.

This one was taken in Normandy. I know the sky is clearer and bluer in the fall. That's definitely true here with the fading leaves in the foreground.

And here's a square in Aix en Provence with the sun and shadows making pictures on the buildings. 

Shall I meet you at the cafe there and we'll have a glass of wine and enjoy the sunshine?

Maybe we can all satisfy our yearnings for France, until we get there again.

Everything about food is such a production in France, and I love that. The little teapot that comes to steep the tea and the paper wrapped sugar cubes.

Wish I was sitting at this cafe with my husband right now.What are you dreaming of?
