It’s taken a while but the lavender has started to bloom and we heard the first cigale, a sure sign that summer is here in Provence.

Maybe I should have gotten this book about cigales. I saw it at the Val Joanis vineyard gift shop.

I’m not a huge fan of spiders but I liked the web design that this one did in the middle of some of the lavender in our yard.

Reflections in the corner of our pool. I love the yellow flowered genet that blooms in May and early June. It has a wonderful sweet fragrance.

Your pool looks so inviting, wonderful photo of the spiders web, do you go out to look for these special pics or just stumble upon them.

Wow, the lavendar and pool both look beautiful! Fabulous photos and it sounds like the weather is great, too.
I love lavendar, too. How wonderful you have it in your yard.
Cheers.

The pool looks divine surrounded by flowers.
The soup looks good too.
Isn’t it lovely at Lavender time. My garden has lots of it in full bloom.

Linda, the reflections of the flowers in the corner of the pool are lovely. And the lavender… how lucky you are. Provence must be great any time, but especially in the summer. Enjoy for me, too.
