Bonjour and welcome back,
In today’s video I am sharing a gentle spring day in the French countryside. From breakfast in the garden to tending to seedlings, picking lily of the valley in the woods and enjoying slow moments outdoors, this is a quiet celebration of the season as it unfolds.
Thank you for being here and for sharing these simple days with me.
À bientôt,
Audrey

Hello, good afternoon! 😊
I'm a young Brazilian housewife 🇧🇷 and I started recording my simple routine living in the Brazilian countryside 🏠🌿 I love your videos 😍 Thank you for sharing 💜✨🌷
🤝👍💐💐💐💐
The sheer beauty of the details I notice all the details, they brings me to tears, I have taken so many beautiful screen shots of your tables, gardens, dishes, where I live we are not allowed to have clothes lines, I used to help mom hang wash all the time, ohhh the memories, the meals outside, the lilacs and lily of the valley, one of my 2 fav. flowers Mother had around the garden yard, I miss it so much, she had large trees that when the warm wind blew the shadows would peek rays of sun on us as we sat on the white iron garden chairs discussing decorating and our next antique trip and the aroma of the Russian Olive tree in summer, the deep purple bearded iris early spring with budded dew that beckoned me to go smell them at the fence edge age of 7 on my swing set playtime, 6:30am. Then checking on my Fathers Tomato and pepper plants to see if anything new showed up. A large pussy willow bush, Forsythias and peonies, bright orange lilies against the back of the house, Mom and I having lemonade and tea breads out back in the tea house scanning magazines and chatting…. So many memories its amazing how you can bring those back to me Audrey, Thank you so much! God bless you emensely….. and Athena. I love your videos so much💖🌹
wonderful
Fantastic❤
How lovely! Do you not have to worry about ticks while out walking with your dog?
💗💗💗💗

Hola Audrey. A lovely start to my weekend seeing your Spring day in France. Spring has also arrived here in Spain & it's beautiful. Love, Patricia ❤️
I always find your videos so relaxing! Thank you
So far Audrey, I love everything you do. So lovely and inspiring.
💗💛💚🤍

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Beautiful video, beautiful music, beautiful birds singing ❣️🥰🌷💐🌹🌷💐🌹🌷💐🌹🐦⬛🐦⬛🐦⬛🌲🌲🌲You are blessed to live by a forest❣️🙏🏻👑🙏🏻
The singing of the birds is just a great relaxer. Very sweet video! I love how you approach everything you do with the calm of familiar routines but with the grace of a ballerina.
You bring even the simplest of tasks to an elevated level of beauty! BRAMBLY HEDGE!!–love , love that book series. My children grew up with them, and now I have much of their goods–tableware, stationary, figurines. There is something about childhood things that bring an added bit of joy to every day life as a grown up.
Dear Audrey, what one can say next? Maybe that watching your video is like a little prayer, like talking to God in admiring all the beauty he blessed you with and you have generesly shared with us. The pictures realy feels like : now stop, admire, give thanks and breathe..All the best to you!❤
So beautiful, love your weather, your doggie 🐶 ❤is the best part! It makes me happy to see him or her happy in your company. Your home is absolutely stunning. Takes us in a tour in your town please 🙏
Greetings from 🇺🇸
We were getting spoiled with 20 something minutes of pure bliss ala Audrey😁 But even 10 min is better than nothing. Your videos watched on Friday evening US EST are perfect starters to our weekends. Thank you for being on YouTube

lily of the valley🤍💚
Bonjour from Quebec. I enjoy your viedos every week. Lily of the valley; is it not the most beautiful scented bloom in the spring?. Although I don't see them here yet as we are still struggling from a winter that will not let go, I know they will come back. Thank you for sharing a slice of your spring with us.
Hi from Las Vegas! Love your beautiful videos…I get a lot of inspiration from watching you 😊
Delightful ❤thank you Audrey for a beautiful and peaceful episode. The breakfast table setting in your garden was lovely, my breakfast is very similar to yours 😊the forest walk with Athena so enjoyable, plus the flowers ❤your garden is so lovely, was it a lilac bush I saw? One of my favourite plants- we used to have a lilac tree in our previous house and it always smelled so lovely across the entire back yard. Have a great week ❤
Thanks for sharing your beautiful Spring day. We are not quite ready for the outside yet in Utah. It snowed over night, but quickly melted during the day in the sun; but still very chilly.
Always a pleasure to spend some time watching your videos. Spring has arrived in rural New Hampshire, USA, and I spent the day raking out my garden beds. It's such a lovely time of the year. Everything fresh and new. Our grass is just turning green. It was covered with 20+inches of snow for several weeks this winter. Good luck with your seedlings. I have never had any luck with seedlings so I am anxious to see what develops for you. Your process is so careful and methodical. 🤞🥀🥀🥀
Happy Spring!
for seedlings you need the best soil and environment, sun etc., and never forget that there is such a thing as "the bad seed" and I'm not just talking about my kid brother here…some seeds will never flower and make you feel like you know nothing about growing plants, that you will never have a green thumb…just dump those bad seeds out and keep on going…
❤❤❤

Honestly, I love how beautiful and calming this vlog was! This is such a beautiful meaningful way of living life 😍💚💛🌿
Wowwww du beau muguet!!! Des bons souvenirs d'enfance me reviennent…❤❤❤
I love Lily of the Valley so much, each little bell shaped flower is like a gift from God if you really look at them and see their beauty, yet, their scent gives me awful headaches….I'm just allergic I guess.
Dear Audrey, thank you for the your lovely words of Spring ,the birdsong , the pretty tablecloth,silver spoons and my favorite Muguet . They are little delicate gifts. Athena seems to enjoy your woodland walks and time in the garden too. I know your seedlings will be sprouting soon. Thank you for reminding us about simple beauty .
