Difficult times

( picture taken from this book)
Happy May!

 Hello friends,

Today, little Maxime is not going to school. Because of the war he is schooling at home. I hope our grandchildren will not have too much stress. Not for the moment but the alerts being very loud they must ask questions. No school until the 8th for the moment…

No more planes for the moment.

Yesterday there has been five alerts and it is a worry for us. We are following the situation from far away. 

Today, it will be raining and I am glad they came yesterday to repair the garage roof which was damaged by hail.

Last night I found the phone number of an arborist to see if I can save my tree.🌳 I ‘ll phone her today. ( thank you Linda for the advice).

I hope everything will settle  one day 

To have a peace of mind back for everyone.

Our grandchildren should come in August???

Hope you’ll enjoy your day!

Keukenhof Spring flowers in the Netherlands 🇳🇱




(Source:ZZZOe)
Hello Friends,

In 2017 we started to visit the Netherlands. We decided to go in Spring to see the tulip 🌷 fields and visited Keukenhof garden.

It’s a very nice garden full of tulips and bulbs it is colourful and beautiful.
Then we visited the fields going by boat on the canals.
 








I will have a look for my own pictures of the floral park!

I started the Bunny felted wool yesterday, I have as usual good instructions in the kit, but it is not very easy. I am struggling to do the paws 🐾 
 
It has been one week that I had my eye surgery. I can see much better, but  for the surgery they do big injections above and under the eye to paralyse it during the surgery and now my eyelid is not opening correctly 
I hope it will come back to normal.
I did not have this problem with the first eye ( different surgeon, different technique) but my surgeon is retired.
We only had eye drops, no injections and it was ok and no dropping eyelid! And headaches…

Today, I will start my “memory jar” I saw on Debbie’s blog “ it’s all about purple” I think it’s a very good idea and I have got a lot of vintage jars in stock!







Have a nice day!

This and that.
