| Parisian Boulevard, 1896 - Pierre Bonnard |
I walked for miles this afternoon after my last
appointment: past the Louvre and along the Seine, past Notre Dame and on and
on, all the way to the Bastille before finally arriving at Place des Vosges and
my little ‘home away from home’ for the week here in the Marais. It was lovely
weather for walking and I enjoyed window shopping and watching all of the people sitting in the
cafes as I went.
There are many small
shops selling flowering bulbs and plants at this time of the year, a sure sign of
the spring that has been in the air these past days and which has helped to
make this one of my most enjoyable visits to Paris yet. Next to the flower
shops, I came across a number of pet stores with puppies, all very cute,
active and expressive, perhaps hoping to ‘charm’ some passerby into taking them home with them and making them part of the family.
I saw a Golden Retriever, which you would have liked, and many others and
imagined how nice it would be to choose one with you, which would then be ours, keeping
us busy with lots of demands for walks and delicious treats and attention. It
would be nice, I think, and it was easy for me to imagine taking a long walk along the river here with you and him or her
on this beautiful, fresh spring Paris evening.
