Candace and I were in Giverny mid-October last year to celebrate my 65th birthday. It was cold and drizzly in the garden but still the most beautiful place you can imagine; so many things still in full bloom and stunning. We stood on one of the Japanese bridges under a willow for a long time watching a boy in a canoe clearing weeds from the lily pond then went for warmth and nourishment at Hotel Restaurant La Musardiere. Thanks for bringing that day back to me.
Incredibly beautiful post...I can almost smell the roses. Such a good thought...

So unbearably beautiful, so sweet smelling. Yes, indeed. Smell those roses and savor every second -- such a special place.
Sending love and prayers.

Roses and Giverny, oh sigh and love.
Take care and thinking of you both.
Praying David is healing.
