Xmas Spirit.

Last year I had white amaryllis, but this time it is red( should have been white and pink…)

This morning I continue to sort out all the decoration pieces I have in order to sell and clear the house!
Two chandeliers with tassels I have painted long ago.
It must be hanged  to see it well.


I did not decorate my tree yet, but as it is a real one I lower the temperature and spray it with water and i can smell the forest 😆 
These are some decorations I started to install 


 Today, we are having a sunny and cold weather but a nice winter day!

This afternoon I have some cooking and baking to do . This morning I prepared the items I am going to bring to my shop tomorrow morning as I have sold again yesterday! We will see tonight!

First roses and Happy Mother’s Day!







I will have two flowers!


Today, we have 19C and my husband cooked a barbecue for me with row carrot salad and asparagus.

I only baked an apple 🥧 pie.

It was difficult for me to go food shopping  🛒 yesterday, I really feel very tired, but I had to help him to select the items we needed. We did shopping for two weeks and if I need anything else I will use the shop delivery. My husband gifted me a tulip bouquet, I love the colours!
I rescued a peony from the super market that was at a very low price because they don’t water them. If not sold they die!

I give it 1litre and a half water and my husband is going to plant it this afternoon.


 This is the peony in better condition.

Now I am resting and my husband is gone to the garden centre 

« Desjardins » to get me a confortable outdoor recliner.

I could not go with him, not feeling good enough today.

I will be able to read outside with a blanket when it is chilly.

The first roses are blooming and it is the first time my Xmas white Amaryllis will flourish again. I am waiting for my outdoor recliner, my husband phoned me and found a light grey one! I will be able to sit confotably out side!

Christmas flowers .

The flower I love to grow for Christmas are white Amaryllis, they are so beautiful.

This year I grew two pots and I am turning the pot everyday otherwise they bend to get more light. For the moment they are perfectly upright.

I found one month ago some Christmas crackers to bring at my daughter’s, little father Xmas, snowman and reindeer.

Today I will try to wrap the presents .

As many of you I think, we will have a rainy Christmas 🎄 ! Unfortunately.




 Not all the flowers will be opened for Christmas, but I will have quite a lot in a few days!g


I finally got the strength to bake a gingerbread !

A reading day.

 Today, i went to do some shopping and I found some last sale!

Last week I saw some Yankee candles at half price because they were Xmas perfumed candles. A small Christmas magic and a big  Christmas Eve cocoa. They are nice winter perfumes!






On Saturday I found a book the story of Agatha Raisin a kind of Miss Marple and this afternoon I am having a rest reading , drinking coffee with the light and perfume of my candles!

Drinking coffee in my Blue tit Emma Bridgewater tea cup. I love Blue Tits.

The Amaryllis is growing, but no sign of colour yet.


Hope you enjoyed your day.
