I hope it's only that, for it will change, and in not such a long time.<br /><br />I'm wondering about something. I went looking in your Paris posts for the photo of the bridge with the padlocks, and couldn't find it. Can you lay your hands on it? I need to refer to it in a post I'm going to write. Don't go to too much effort - I may be able to surfact it using Google, but I thought I'd ask in case you can find it easily.<br /><br />Our freezing rain has stopped, and the little sparrows and my ONE goldfinch are flying again and eating. Tonight we may get into the upper 20s - so cold for us! - and then some warming comes.

I got notice of your new post rat...Bonjour Jeanie,<br /><br />I got notice of your new post rather late this morning, but here I am dear one.<br /><br />I just cannot even begin to understand this sort of grief with a friend. I have lost parents, and that was wrenching, for when they leave, they take a part of you with them. I have lost other relatives, and that is surreal. I have never however, lost a pet; all of my pets either ran away or were given away! But to lose a friend? I can't bear this. To lose a friend as such would be like losing your own daily rhythm, like loosing a step in your walk...<br /><br />Paris is a perfect place to mourn, to make joyful, to reflect, to grow. I hope that this trip will last a lifetime in your memory and know that one day.....we will all be reunited.<br /><br />AnitaCastles Crowns and Cottageshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01780241008313365707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5681875145919050501.post-91753976449449657252014-01-28T05:08:51.297-05:002014-01-28T05:08:51.297-05:00Sending you some blazingly hot summer weather vibe...Sending you some blazingly hot summer weather vibes, Jeanie (it was 40C today).

I also noted that your pictures are of some of my favourtie graves, including the one of the woman, actually made by a mother, on the tomb of her 20 year old son. It was possibly the only statue she ever made.<br /><br />You must be back for a new visit, on a sunny day ... when all the cats will be more easily visible!

I do live in a much warmer climate where the sun comes out more so that does help, but not as much as I would like. I'm homesick and sad about difficult things friends are feeling with and I pine for easier times... but life moves on, I suppose. <br /><br />I love the cemetery shots. I meant to get there on my last trip but then it didn't happen... guess that means I need to go back to Paris. :)Lisa from Lisa's Yarnshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05335500882510597919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5681875145919050501.post-91660578398763397082014-01-27T18:14:42.230-05:002014-01-27T18:14:42.230-05:00Sorry you're feeling low, it's been a depr...Sorry you're feeling low, it's been a depressingly cold and snowy winter.
