Gardens of Monet

So when I was in high school oh-so-long ago (ha ha) we sang a song in my choir class about the Gardens of Monet. My very bestest friend/cousin and I made up an interpretive dance to this song to perform at the concert. However, for some strange reason which I still don't know, my choir teacher didn't want us to perform it! (Love you Joanie)

However, I had a little reenactment in the Gardens of Monet today:







(Um, why am I posting this??? This is kind of embarrassing.)

Anyway, moving right along...the gardens were absolutely beautiful and the house was just so quaint and sweet. Pictures weren't allowed in the house, but here are a few glimpses of the beautiful gardens that Monet painted.

Here is the street leading up to the house...isn't it so picturesque?

It was so nice to be in a beautiful place surrounded by beautiful things, away from the city...Giverny, Je t'aime.
