Could This Have Been What Belle Reve Looked Like??????????????


                               This painting. or drawing, has a dreamy, illusory quality that makes it a perfect representation of the Du Bois plantation.  The name "Belle Reve" means "beautiful dream," and who just wouldn't love, like Blanche, to stay here, and take hot baths for one's nerves?????????

                               Let's face it, darlings, I may be more defensive than Blanche, but I am just one big Plantation Princess, too.  I love the architecture and lifestyle, but the heat kills me!  No wonder Blanche had to take so many baths.  And no air conditioning, back then!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                Yes, loves, Belle Reve may be only a dream, but it is one all can love.

                                 Who can blame Blanche, in her mind, for wanting to stay there?????????????
