Today I am delighted to be participating in the Spring Into Summer Porches, Patios, and Outdoor Spaces Blog Hop hosted by my sweet friend Amber of Follow The Yellow Brick Home.

Saturday Smiles Daffodils

Fall, In Love With France
Welcome to the Fall Porches and Patio's tour hosted by Amber of Follow The Yellow Brick Home. I recently traveled to France for ten days.
