Midsummer weekend







 When you have children, you don't see that many sunsets anymore and your night life is pretty much non existent. Well at least mine is hahah. So the summer is my one big party. I enjoy every day when I get the opportunity to stay out past 8 in the evening. Enjoying the lake with family or friends or the seaside with children and dogs belongs to the summer for me. A dinner on the beach is just what I needed. I love the beach, the light and the tranquility of the water in the evening.. . I hope you all had a beautiful midsummer weekend!

Midsummer's night


It is the midsummer weekend! The weekend of magical bon fires and love spells. Saint John's Eve in France Fête de la Saint-Jean is celebrated with big bonfires.In the Vosges region, this huge bonfire is called "chavande".  From my childhood I remember my grandmother telling me that the herbs are to be collected in this evening to have a stronger healing power. Also a woman can bewitch a man that she likes  and evil eye and jealoussy has stronger power than usual. People made fires to send the witches away.
This night for me was always full of dancing, herbs, spells and fires. We used to put flowers under the pillow to dream about our future husbands. Happy midsummer weekend everyone!
