I’ve mentioned that we don’t get the autumn colors like I had growing up in Chicago, and I miss that. Sure, in Southern France, there are the vineyards which change seasonally, but there aren’t the vast forests of colors as I remember. I particularly like maple trees, so Christophe planted one for me in the garden. This is its first year, and its leaves turn flaming red. I love it. It reminds me of autumns where colored leaves fill the ground and a perfume lingers in the air. I smile each time I see my maple tree because I know with which intention it was planted. It works and I’m happily reminded of home.
About Me

- Lynn Deasy is a freelance writer, author, foodie, and garden tinkerer. She lives in a 600 year old house in southern France with her husband, Christophe. Currently, she is looking for a literary agent for her memoir CA VA? STORIES FROM RURAL LIFE IN SOUTHERN FRANCE which examines the oddities of French provincial living from an outsider’s point of view through a series of adventures that provide more than a fair share of frustration, education, admiration, and blisters…. yes, lots and lots of blisters. Lynn blogs every Monday, Wednesday, and sometimes Friday.
