I truly feel like I’ve found my piece of heaven here in Mirabel. As the weeks pass while I am here overseeing the renovations on the house, I get to taste the marvelous array of delicious fruits and vegetables that come into season and suddenly appear in our excellent epicerie. The fields outside of the village burst into color with each new flowering crop. Mirabel friend, Sue, and I share a a passion for les fleurs. Yesterday we decided to take a drive to see the sunflowers in blooming now. We drove towards Avignon and quickly found a big yellow field along the road. To get closer, we took the next turn onto a tiny one lane dirt road, revealing a lovely chateau, nestled in a grove of trees. Everywhere you look there is something beautiful! We had fun taking photos amongst the sunflowers dancing in the wind. It was a beautiful day here in Provence. –Dory
- We found this pretty chateau along the country lane on our way to the sunflower field.
Look at those big fluffy clouds!
Sunflowers dance in the breeze.
