We usually insist Lily walk to or from school one way each day. The school is one mile away, and most days we walk in the morning, because at the end of a seven hour school day the little girl is pretty much a zombie. But I told her this week we're going to walk in the morning and the afternoon because our little route through the "neighborhood" is in full spring bloom. And she and I cannot resist a good show of flowers.
The flowers are so gorgeous we've been taking our eyes off our feet and the sidewalk to look up and enjoy the show. But that's risky behavior in a country where dogs seem to be trained to poo in the middle of the sidewalks and the owners are too chic to pick up the messes. The good news...the wisteria smells so delicious and fills the air with so much natural perfume that it overwhelms the dog-poo-on-the-bottom-of-the-shoe-odor...almost.
Enjoy the pictures of spring and dog poo in the south of France.
I've been calling this street Wisteria Lane all week...interesting fact about the French: They are obsessed with the show "Desperate Housewives". Oh, the lovely American culture we export!
