Reading your blog over the year I feel like I know you and do wish you well. So I saw Blithewold's booth at the New England Flower Show this past Wednesday on the "Gardens of New England" day. Hoping to get down for the Daffodils in April this year. <em>Thank you, Sue! See you soon -- stay tuned - the daffs might be a little earlier this year! -kris</em> Wow Kris nice to hear your news!

I love Paris! Even if the weather is crappy the food and wine are worth the trip. Some advice if you haven't already left, skip the Louvre and go to the Georges Pompidou instead. Make sure you go to the top for the view of the city, much cheaper and faster than waiting in line for hours at the Eiffel Tower, though you should certainly go stand beneath it just to get an accurate sense of scale. Best wishes in your marriage. <em>Thanks, Heather! Great advice - I hadn't read it before we left but that's just what we did. The Pompidou was amazing! -kris</em> Kris, I’m so jealous. I love Paris!

A honeymoon in Paris sounds so romantic. I hate to rain on your parade though. I was in Paris at this time of year. It was not Spring-like. It was chilly & damp. I don't recall seeing any blooming plants & all the fountains at Versailles were covered with boards. I say this so that you will not be disappointed when you get there. I'm sure you'll have a fantastic time - it's such an interesting city. Bon voyage! <em>Mr. McG's D, Thank you! - Nothing could have rained on our parade though - even rain! And we found spring much further advanced than home. Actually I decided our timing was perfect - there was plenty of color but the fact that the trees hadn't fully leafed out yet made the architecture of the city much easier to see. -kris </em> Congratulations!
