Flowers and birds birth

Hello Friends !

This morning I had an appointment at my hairdresser.
It is a very friendly place in the country, you feel like at home. Coming home I did a garden tour.
These days a blackbird is coming to have his bath in the bird  🦅 waterer and his female. These days he looks very busy . I hear some births in the nests, on top of our upstairs windows  sparrow nests, I had even a sparrow in the house yesterday and took him outside.the wisterias are blooming, and different white bushes.
But since a few days, I am hearing babies somewhere, could not find the nest! But yesterday I saw the blackbird coming out of a hole in the weeping willow!
Mum stays with the babies and Mr blackbird  is busy bringing food.

I like to listen to birds and watch them. At the moment we reduced the feeding but did not stop yet , we will stop when the babies will leave the nest 🪺.
Our weekend will be going up North to the Netherlands  🇳🇱 ( but the weather will be rainy!)

A warm day.

Good morning !

Yesterday was a strangely warm day. Heat from the Sahara came to us and we had 20 degrees C! But today we will have thunderstorm and then back to cold!
This weather is very strange…
I went to do a garden tour, to see what we will have to do this weekend if the weather is fine. We will have to clean the terrace, pick up all the branches broken by the    wind , I think that will be all we can do this weekend.
Today, I will have to get médecine for Bandit’s allergy to Spring grass! Yes animals can be allergic to Spring grass! I even had a donkey in the past allergic too.
So he will take his tablets during Spring time.
The flowers are starting their bloom even the little Violets, I love Violets.
We don’t have any more sheep 🐑 next door, no Spring birth this year. Bandit is often looking next door for the sheep to play with, but no more friends.

Today, I will cook and maybe make bread  after I went to the vet and this afternoon do some crafts, I must finish my big suitcase decorated with Chromos.

I wish you a good day !

July 14th our National day



  Yesterday morning early before the high heat I went to give water to the birds and a wasp 🐝 was going to get drowned so I managed to get her out of the water.

This morning I went to renew the water, but this time I put it full so that it will be easier for insects to drink … and while I was pouring the water she came beside me and managed to drink fresh water. She was waiting for me!  She is drinking a lot.


At one o’clock it is 31C and 25 inside. We only use the air conditioner at night and use a ventilator downstairs during the day.
We water the garden at night but the vegetation suffers a lot. Today we should have 33C and this weekend 40C! The lawn is all burned and we have fires in some fields, my house being in the middle of fields I am very scared!
Tomorrow is our National day, July the 14th, we usually have fireworks, but due to the heat and fires most of them are cancelled.





But this time no rain for the military parade, but they will be hot tomorrow!
