    Time for the delphiniums to be cut back here at @l Time for the delphiniums to be cut back here at @lepapillongarden and make room for the dahlias to start blooming in the front cottage garden. While I don't usually cut my flowers for bouquets as my garden is still young (seventh summer, 3rd and 4th with the delphs), such an occasion gives me an excuse to welcome these beauties into the house.

    It's Friday, it's the middle of summer AND it is T It's Friday, it's the middle of summer AND it is This & That Day on the blog where we are greeted with oodles of peonies. Grab your favorite Cuppa and start to explore ⤵️

With France celebrating Le Quatorze Juillet next week, you will find quite a few Francophile Finds – primarily books and in many different genres. Also, three films – one based on a true story, another to tug at the heartstrings, and the other to take you on a wild ride with two great (and fearless) female leads. An Australian female sleuth returns, a favorite American cook takes us on his travels to four favorite global destinations, and you’ll also find summer clothing, some on sale and others wonderful for layering and taking us to the beach as well as into autumn due to its versatility. Still, there is more!
