Today was another dentist appointment for us, we both had to get final crowns for broken crowns. But first we had to shop for food, so we spent the morning visiting with our traiteurs. So we got a couple carts full of supplies and then went back to the apartment for a bit of lunch. We have had blooming plants on the deck virtually all year and now is no different things are blooming at the beginning of February.
After lunch we caught the Metro over a stop near the dentist office. When we got off the metro we had about 20 minutes before we had to be at the office, so we stopped at the Parc Monceau to sit and enjoy the pleasant weather. The daffodils are blooming in the park and several trees are in bloom as well. We just sat and enjoyed watching the people enjoying the park.
My crown was supposed to be done last week but the fabricator got the color wrong so I had to come for another fitting. Deb's ended up having the same problem today and I heard the dentist call them and raise hell. So we'll have to return one more time in a week to actually finish and get a cleaning before we return home.
Our appointments took a couple hours and then we headed over to Montmartre where Deb could spend a little time perusing the wonderful fabric shops. In the mean time I found a little brasserie close by and enjoyed a couple of nice Belgian beers. After her shopping we took the bus home and spent a quiet evening. This is our life in Paris when we're not strictly focused on the "discovery" of Paris part of our adventure.

Daffodils in February?! Does spring in Paris start much earlier than in the US? Not officially, of course ... just weather.
ReplyDeleteI didn't think it had ever really frozen here, but Deb says otherwise. My understanding has been that frost damage doesn't hit until the temp gets down to around 27-28 degrees and we've not come near that since we got here. So things just bloom lots earlier
ReplyDeleteOur daffodils are budding and our cyclamen are beginning to bloom. This is what happens in February in places that don't have snow in the winter. We got several hard freezes but the go away quickly.
