SPRING IS IN THE AIR!

Great volunteers here in France! Once a week I have been riding my bike to Bangue Alimentaire du Morbihan to volunteer. Having some extra time on my hands I felt the need to give back for what we have been blessed with here in France. A French friend took me to meet Mr. Audo, the director, and she interpreted for me. He told me I would be their first American volunteer.
The first morning to volunteer, I woke up a little nervous ....... that was a waisted worry. My French tutor had helped me with about five sentences I may need to use such as,"Where do I put this? What do you want me to do?" I soon learned the volunteers in France are just as wonderful as those in the U.S.
Maurice, the gentleman on the right in the photo speaks a little English but he said it's been 40 years since he studied English at school. Ilan, the boy on the left is the volunteer director's nephew. They were both a joy to work with today. As the volunteer truck drivers bring in the food donations from the local grocery store we separate and discard the spoiled produce and then it is distributed to the local food pantries in the area.
My flower withdrawal was for a shorter time than expected. The Camelia bushes are in full bloom. This is the flower we had in our wedding but the florist made them from petals of another flower because they were hard for her to get in Batesville. I had seen them in a picture and just loved the delicate blooms.

The violets are starting to poke through to show their color too!

The Mimosa started blooming in December and is now in full bloom. What a sweet smelling fragrance!

My first sighting of daffodils and crocuses. Could that be a bee on the daffodil??
