Doesn’t sound as nice as “April in Paris, Chestnuts in Blossom,”  but the chestnut trees around here look lovely nonetheless.  

The heat wave in Europe certainly must mean that the chestnuts are long past blooming in Paris this year.  Here it’s been quite cool, so cool in fact that I haven’t moved my hibiscus outside which I usually have done by now.

The sun is out here though, so I have hope that all will be well.
