Yesterday was a lovely day. I walked out my door and this giant yellow brontosaurus was sitting there, removing pianos etc. from a window above. I crossed the street not to get crushed should it back up suddenly.
The street cleaner and I stood there looking up, our jaws on the ground.
Yesterday I managed to walk on by this big lemon tarte without going inside. They know me too well in there 😳
Yesterday I finally did go inside adorable Besties, a new, HOT donut shop on rue to see what all the fuss was about.
The owner is French, not British or American. They have flavors-of-the-month.
April is peach-lavender. I went for old favs, framboise and pistachio (@4€). Bonnie and I were reminiscing. Do you remember those mini donut machines that produced the best little cinnamon sugared donuts? There was one in the 42nd street subway. Bonnie says I should get one and sell them on a Paris street. 🍩 YES 👏 
Yesterday I wanted to get peonies to paint at Marché Mutualité. THEY ARE HERE at last! 🤸🏾♀️The woman ahead of me pointed at the pink roses to the vender.
He said, “Belle o moche?” (Beautiful or ugly?)
She said,”Moche s’il vous plait.”(ugly please). 😊
Yesterday I got another flat of strawbs (kilo 2.2 lbs 7€). Better this time though still from Espana. The vender beside me, arranging new peaches, pointed to the smaller box of FRENCH Gariggette berries at the same price and whispered, “Much better!”
On the way home, I rested my new treasures on a park bench. And myself as well.
My jaw dropped when a filming flatbed truck come by with an attached biker madly peddling. We all rushed to get a shot.
He gave us the Victory sign! 😊
On the way home more surprises 🦆 Evidently its true. Ducks in a row. They do line up! Nothing like the simple gifts 💋
I hope you have a lovely day dear PBers 🍓
