New purchases

Hello friends!

First let me show you the sandals I found yesterday to wear with many different clothes and with my polka dot dress.

The little basket I found it some weeks ago

This is the new dress

A small crochet bag

New pink rose bush I decided to put pink, different blue and white in the garden.

This is the rose bush at one corner of the house that is starting to bloom, many roses to come!

Black eye Susans

 This is the front door. Next weekend we are going to clean the terrace! A big job

Today, I must really go to have my hair cut before the big rush of the week! Move the furniture before they clean the chimney and install the wood stove and next the cleaning 🧽! I think I will have a lot of cleaning 

Then the installation of an AC downstairs a little later. I had to order wood for a delivery, boiler cleaning and our other AC cleaning. all will be done in May and June before the firm’s holiday.( nothing is working here in August!) more to come in September. I always have to organise before the holidays and rush in September. So everything will be done!

It is always cold but from Thursday the temperature will increase and we will suddenly have 30 degrees C for the weekend about 20 degrees difference.

News from our grandchildren. They are back to school, but for how long?

We prepare their arrival this summer but we are not sure they can come? This makes a lot of worries! 

Well, I have better go now. I wish you a good week.

This and that…

We went to another garden center to get two of these to put on each side of the front door.

Hello friends!

Yesterday we had a snack at the Turkish restaurant we are used to eat each Saturday, it’s good, simple and quick!

We bought our weekly coffee for the week. I like strong Italian coffee.

This is a touch of their country lemons and  blue eye glass for protection( in Mediterranean countries)

Our daughter has sent a link to us of a garden we can visit in May close to where we live. We also went to a shoe outlet which was open on our way and I got some new sandals for the summer to match with a new summer dress .

 This week will be a very busy one! So I wish you a nice week!

New peonies, roses and weekend!

Hello Friends 

Let me show you my new Mother’s Day peonies! ( two others are smaller and must be potted  this weekend.

Roses are starting to to bloom despite the freezing temperatures. But next week it should be hot 🥵 

The sparrows are nesting bringing dry grass to their nest in fact they are living here all year having food and water.

Some babies have already left the nest. We have got four nests! A lot of noise!

 I had news from my son, the schools are not re opening for the moment, but the kids Birthday parties are now taking place and friends gatherings too! They ‘ll be busy on Sunday!

I will be busy this weekend so I wish you now a good weekend! 

Plants and flowers.

My daughter’s plants nursery.

Today is a religious Bank holiday.

Yesterday I went to a garden centre where my daughter bought me 4 peonies for Mother’s Day at the end of month. We my customers’ card I had some discounts and I bought her some bulbs for her garden, but she is very fond of indoor plants as well.

So today we went to Desjardins, had our lunch there and then went to buy what we needed.

Then I decided to buy the plants she was looking at the day before and we decided to phone her and drive 30 kms bring her the plants.

I bought two black eye Susan 

It was cold and we had big showers and then sun shine 

This is the inside of her garden house 

Father and daughter 

Then we visited her shared garden with her vegetable 

It’s a bit late for sweet peas but I will try.
In between showers we went to “Jumieges Abbey”

It was again a busy day!

Next week the wood stove will be installed in the fireplace and I ordered wood for the winter.

Hope you had a nice day!
