What to do on a Sunday?




Article about Snowdrops. For those who want to know the french word it is “ Perce- neige” ( coming through the snow)


 Hello Friends,
Yesterday, I bought the first tulips of the winter. They are not coming from my garden, but from The Netherlands 🇳🇱! The problem with tulips, is that they keep growing when cut.

⛄️
I received one of my favorite magazine “esprit d’ici”
It’s a beautiful magazine about country living and this one is about snowdrops and a “ kouglof “ recipe.
A speciality from Alsace ( east of France”)
Nice pictures of wildlife and a nice magazine to read by a winter afternoon!

And I will also read “ Bécassine”
À Bécasse is a bird and Bécassine is not very intelligent and has the brain of a bird!
We used to read her adventures when we were young ( younger 😊!)
I found it in a museum , when we went to Falaise castle and museum with my son.



There is a museum about the life of civilians during world war 2 and this is were I found this book. This is a comic.

Mr L went to do a little shopping for the birds and brought me the white Hyacinths! I love their perfume.
I wish you a peaceful Sunday.

I had some news from my son and they have chosen the baby’s name and it will be Maxime!

  1. I like your flowers. Mr L is a very good husband if he brought you Hyacints.:)

  2. I have snowdrops blooming in my yard, right outside my big family window where I can see them from inside.
    Tulips do keep growing when they are picked. I take them out of the vase and chop them off and put them back in.

  3. Because Tulips grow and fall over when cut is a reason I don't often buy any (or bring any in from my garden). But they are beautiful.
    The scent of Hyacinths can fill a room with such perfume. Lovely.

Stuck at home!

My paper houses survived for the moment just having lost one window shutter! Hello friends! Grandma is alone today! She should be out at Rou...
