The first of May is always a big thíng around here and many other countries, it is a time to celebrate spring and the coming summer and all the beauty that spring flowers bring. Flowers do seem to play a more important role here than in other parts of the world and that certainly makes me quite happy! Always loved them, always will.<br />Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a lovely comment,<br />AndreaAndrea_TheKitchenLionesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05188562947486964076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5171858975021092818.post-17283723789038048352015-05-03T03:25:03.725+02:002015-05-03T03:25:03.725+02:00Andrea, your tart looks gorgeous, especially with ...Andrea, your tart looks gorgeous, especially with all the flowers. You have a magic hand with pastry. My lily of the valley have barely started to come up from the ground. It will be weeks before they bloom. It's nice to see your lush bouquet. I'm always surprised how far ahead you are with your flowers and fresh vegetables.

There was so much celebration, with people selling Lilli of the Valley flowers<br />all around town, we had no idea what is was all about. We learned about the tradition when we returned home and thought how wonderful. <br />In all of our travels in Europe over the years, my husband and I were always fascinated by the display of flowers from homes, especially in<br />the small villages of France. Hanging baskets, huge displays at the markets, etc. I miss it all, but am pleased that I had the opportunity to experience it all. That said, your tart looks fantastic.Nanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10425003763467324952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5171858975021092818.post-7171625477751868132015-05-02T21:17:02.896+02:002015-05-02T21:17:02.896+02:00Liebe Gerlinde - wie schön!
