Jardin Agapanthes


Hello friends!

today I have problems to use blogger! Don’t know if you also have problems?

As I don’t go out much ( in fact I write from the doctors waiting room of the clinic in Rouen)


We usually go and visit this garden each year “ le jardin des Agapanthes” this is a beautiful garden in the countryside with Hydrangeas, Agapanthes and beautiful landscaping.


A mix of trees, flowers and water.

A short message.

Dear Friends

I am not on my blog for the moment due to a second health problem. I had to go to the clinic and I feel exhausted for the moment.

As you may know we had a terrible heat wave. At the moment we are having a few days fresh air and in two days we are back to heat!

Our downstairs AC is finally installed just on time before the new heat wave. I am not doing much at the moment but rest. 

As you can see on the picture the trees are suffering a lot and loose their leaves. The birds are asking for water a lot and stay hidden under the leaves or in the hedges when it’s too hot and are very quiet.

I hope to be back as soon as possible. I am resting a lot before our son’s family arrive from Dubaï pretty soon now, with two toddlers we will be very busy!

See you soon my friends, enjoy and take care!

🔥 Hello Friends!

Today France will be the hottest place on earth!🌍 

I am having health problems at the moment and I must rest.  

I am staying inside with the AC. Yesterday the temperature felt was 47 degrees C 116,6 F in Normandy! And most places have no AC ! It may come down at the end of week. It may last for a number of of months with temperatures coming up and down!

I ‘ll be back as soon as I feel better 😘

À big, long heat wave!


 Hello Friends,

Here in France we are having a heat dome. Thunderstorms and hail. The temperature is rising and more than 40 degrees in some places. Schools are closed and some trains cancelled.😞 it is very a very serious moment.

Hope everything goes well. Damages have already occurred around us so I will be back in a few days . We will eat ice creams to get a little freshness!

It will be a long period of heat!

See you soon.

A visit to Giverny and a painting.

Hello Friends.

Today it is very, very hot here!
I am going to stay inside. ( blogger is a bit difficult to use these days have you noticed?)
 
Well, today I was remembering visiting an exhibition in the American museum at Giverny about motherhood.

I love this painting by an American woman “Mary Louise Fairchild” from Connecticut . I love everything, the lilies in back ground and the freshness of the scene with the mother and child. I fell in love with this painting and I wanted to share it with you today.




Isn’t it beautiful?
 


Do you remember this view?

Thit was in Spring.










Hope you had a nice visit!

Some things I like.

Hello Friends,
Today, it will be hot and thunder will arrive.
I went out early to take pictures of our hydrangeas 
Lilies are starting to to bloom

This hydrangea was a present from a Vietnamese friend 
Who has left this world so each year it’s a reminder of her for me. We did drawing classes together.
The flax field is not blooming yet
I am waiting for the blue field!

Something I like ❤️  pansies ear rings ( les nereides)
Will stay inside away from the heat!
Have a good day!
