Thank you so much, Sarah! I am always so happy to see you here, dear friend. I love that your husband played bocce, it really is a fun sport I think! Our family enjoys it in the garden in summer time.
I hope you have a very happy summer too!! xo

Lidy, you know I’m a long time fan of the French countryside and the leisure lifestyle. Oh, how I adore your style. Your garden is so inviting with the abundance of blooms, and your picnic setting is sheer delight. My husband used to play bocce, and I have fun memories of watching pétanque in France. I do have an antique pétanque ball. It’s fun to mix in with things in a dough bowl or on a shelf. I always enjoy your wonderful posts, Lidy. I apologize for arriving late. Happy Summer.

Thank you so much Rita! I would love for you to spend time in my garden, too, because that would mean we would see each other! I am very happy to know that you once again have a garden to love of your own, friend. xo

Oh my, yes, I thoroughly enjoyed my visit today! Although it’s mid-week, I saved catching up my favorite bloggers’ posts until I had time to really enjoy reading and going over all the lovely details. Lidy, your picnic is so picture perfect, and your garden as backdrop is stunning in early June. The walnut pentanque balls are so charming! I would so enjoy spending time in your French outdoor space, sipping wine and munching on your cheese board. The flowers (I almost forgot!) are fittingly inviting in the enamel pitcher. The fuschia plants are wonderful! Thanks for MMB.

Oh, that river side picnic does sound magical, Mary! I hope you choose a new fuschsia, a new flirty plant always makes us happy!

Thank you so much! Picnics and flowers always make for a bright beginning, don’t they? Wishing you a beautiful week! xo Lidy

Mary, barring being in France, a picnic in the garden {or on your landing by the lake!} would be divine. Wishing you a beautiful week ahead, with a little less heat! Xo Lidy

Bonnie, thank you – there is something special about a picnic, isn’t there, whether it’s in France or in our own back yard! Would love to have you join me. xo Lidy

Jain, it was such a pleasure to have you join us this day. Your garden is beyond magical! There will always be room for you to crash my picnic – how fun would that be?

Shirley, those flowers of the fuchsias are like little ballerina tutus, aren’t they? I think hanging baskets on your front porch would be amazing! Thank you so much for visiting dear friend, wishing you a beautiful and sunshine filled week!xo

Your French backyard oasis is the perfect place for a French inspired picnic…you have all of the details checked off….fabulous picnic basket filled with wonderful dinnerware and drink…the fruit and bread to enjoy with your exquisite wine from Provence and then the amazing backdrop of your gardens filled with the most beautiful flowers…..I too love Fuchsia….saw some at a garden center and going back soon to obtain some…Your vintage coffee pot filled with summer flowers are the perfect compliment to your Provencal picnic…so beautiful Lidy!! I wish you a most wonderful week filled with great things and beautiful flowers ?

Love love you and this! I am moving into a small apartment but am taking everything French! Darien, Ct.

Lidy, what a great treat to enjoy a Provençal picnic in your garden. Your post had me dreaming of a return trip to Provence. The French have a way of making the ordinary, extraordinary. Your picnic spread is so lovely and oh how I love the French picnic basket! Your antique enameled coffee pot is the perfect vessel for your garden flowers. The Eden roses are breathtaking and the fuchsias are stunning. It is always a pleasure to join you in the garden! Happy Monday xoxo
June 06, 2022
Such a beautiful spot for a picnic! First, thank you for including me as a guest this month, it was a honor to join you all. Second, is there room for me to crash your picnic?! Such a lovely lay about, I instantly feel calm and rested sipping my libations watching balls roll around! Beautiful picnic baskets set the mood and of course flowers are a must! Love seeing your garden, one can never have too many flowers!
June 06, 2022
Would love to be enjoying this picnic right now! I adore fuchsias and getting a new one (or a few) is a great idea.
Your lovely posts take me back to France; not to Provence, but to the Perigord. Brantome is my favorite town and a picnic by the river ….. a dream come true.
Thanks Lidy!
June 06, 2022
My goodness, Lidy, your garden is beautiful! Love your picnic feast! You have taken me back to Provence this morning as I remember an exciting picnic we had there. You transport me to France quite often in your posts.
Your delightful french picnic basket and lovely flowers in the antique coffee pot are so charming. Your photos are lovely.
Your Eden roses are ethereal and the fushias and maidenhair fern are gorgeous.
I hope your husband is well now. So sorry he has been under the weather.
Enjoy the week ahead.
June 06, 2022
It’s the picture perfect picnic, Lidy! Such a beautiful way to start my morning!
June 06, 2022
Lidy, Your garden is the perfect spot to picnic with your backdrop of blooms! I have French picnic basket envy and your antique enameled coffee pot makes the perfect vase for flowers with your alstroemeria, statice and dianthus. I know you must be sad to see last of the Eden roses, they are beauties! Pétanque sounds like fun for all ages and I could see how it would be competitive! As always it’s a treat to share blooms with you. Thank you for the beautiful start to my morning. Happy Monday. <3
