From the joy of t-shirts back to winter coats, rainbows to thunderstorms, please raise your hand if you felt personally victimised by the weather in Paris this week. I basked in the sunshine then got drenched in the torrential rain, too optimistic to carry an umbrella, my paper grocery bag disintegrating as I walked leaving me with the logistical issue of too many items and not enough hands.
Your posts are always so full of real life--I love them. Here in Brooklyn, our company, SIMON LIU, INC., has been designing and manufacturing artists' painting supports for 40 years. Many Rothko's are on our supports, plus hundreds of other artists' works. Loved the photo of your younger daughter and the vision of youngsters scurrying for chocolates in my favorite Parisian garden put a smile on my face. Merci!
You are hilarious Emily. I love your newsletters. But I need to say that I can sort of understand if someone had not heard of Giacometti (maybe not the most widely known sculptor in the world) but you need to know that a considerable percentage of the Australian population have heard of him and would recognise his distinctive work. Some of us even studied art and art history at school!!! Or even at university! And frequent galleries here and overseas. Or even work in them.😊 Sorry - could not resist. Thank you in particular for the regular cheese information. When we are in the Lot we shop at Xavier Fromagerie in Toulouse - a wonderful experience and good to go with some ideas about what to look for.
We in Seattle are also experiencing the Spring of Deception but honestly that is normal for us. But yesterday to our delight we had an afternoon sunbreak and we hopped on the light rail to visit the cherry blossoms at the University of Washington. They were spectacular! I totally understand your blossom obsession! Cheers and happy belated birthday!
Detroit had the same weather. We got 4.5 inches. Luckily, it neighborhood kid who shovels my drive had not left for Spring Break yet. So the driveway was plowed. Saturday it all melted..oh well. Trees are budding., could Spring be far behind...
Your description of the weather in Paris reflects the same in London. But in the end I love the variety, and the especially the vivid spring green of the trees as a result of all the rain. Belated Happy Birthday.

Meanwhile in Brisbane, the weather has finally cooled but raining in time for Easter 🐣 Happy birthday and such lovely celebrations 🎉🎈
It's been lovely & sunny here in Rome. But Easter is coming so I am digging out the umbrella because there is sure to be sideways rain!
