We here in North America consider a 100 year old home old. How can we who live where everything is so new possibly grasp that weight unless we return to older lands that have felt the tramp of time? <br />The poppies reminded me of an impressionist painting, too. Beautiful photos, beautiful words that evoke a sense of longing and of uncertainty about where home really is.Lorriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03653026442945027184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2498719763759636773.post-59483412306366776862014-07-02T01:39:19.244+02:002014-07-02T01:39:19.244+02:00Love these old roads, love the fields, love the wi...Love these old roads, love the fields, love the wild flowers and the poppies, LOVE this post!<br />Warmest greetings from the Périgord,<br />karinLaPouyettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06793966763489506817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2498719763759636773.post-91525250702851301282014-07-02T00:43:21.536+02:002014-07-02T00:43:21.536+02:00Yes.
