Here’s a collage of this morning’s trip to the Bastille market. Steve and I almost didn’t go. It was raining. And most of the morning had already slipped away. True, we said, we needed apples and cheese and bread and flowers, but we could always stop by Monoprix tomorrow. Finally, we did rouse ourselves, gathered umbrellas and shopping bags. And if we hadn't gone—I would have missed the man with the black umbrella, carrying a paper-wrapped bouquet of purple gladiolas!
