Six weeks after the mimosas flowering in Bormes les Mimosas, spring is
finally arriving in the valleys beyond the coast line. It came about a week
later than last year, and the blossoming is not quite as abundant this
year.
The image above is of our mirabelle tree. It has lost a few branches in storms
and seems to have produced a ton of fruit last year in order to ensure
procreation. Luckily it survived both storms and over-abundant fruit production
(leading to the loss of more branches), but is flowering with a lot more
parsimony this year

Vineyards and the Massif des Maures at Gonfaron

31 January marked the end of the season for "season greetings" in France.
This extended season gives French people a lot more time than those in most
other countries to recover from celebrations before sending their New Year's
wishes. It shows we have a different sense of time. (I say "we" since I have
adapted a long time ago. Having to be exactly on time has become a
strain...)
So it is time, even in France, to follow the greetings-entry of this blog with
a new posting.
Even though we have already had a glimpse of spring last Sunday (25 January)
seeing the mimosas blossom in Bormes les Mimosas, let us first come back to the
spot that figured on the greeting card in the last posting.
