New in the garden.

Hello friends!

Yesterday, I had the idea of an arch to hold our Pierre de Ronsard roses. I phoned our preferred garden center and as my Birthday is next week, I had 10% discount on what I liked!

We are having some beautiful weather after all the rain during Autumn and Winter, blue sky and sun 🌞 is a gift!
It was nice to sit under the weeping willow with my dog Bandit on my lap.

 I have been cleaning the barbecue and it is now ready !

I had my son , grandson and other grandma Valentina on Skype. Our DIL is going to Gualalumpur tonight for the week, for her job. They have just been moving yesterday
And had a problems, no water, no light and no air conditioning for one evening and one night! It is already rather hot and with the children it was not comfortable.
Maxime did not want to leave his flat and was crying, but now he is happy today!
He will soon have his Birthday on the 18th same month as grandma and I hope her Birthday present that is on its way will be on time. Tomorrow the roofers are coming, better get up early!
Wishing you a good week.

Busy weekend !

(Blogger did not put the pictures in order once more!)
I added a lace curtain I had in stock from IKEA  
This is the little table I had for 5€

And this box for 9 €
This is a little painting 🖼️ I found a long time ago in a thrift store
I found a round carpet, but not the one I wanted, but I will wait until I go to the thrift store again.
Photo of the weekend! 



 Two days ago, my daughter phoned me and said she had some vacations, but not her husband so she wants to go on the coast by bicycle 🚴! She will cycle two days and sleep two nights in hotels for cyclists and come back by train with her bike. About a 100 km, but I don’t like to know her alone on isolated cycling lanes ! She is equipped of many trackers and I can follow her on my phone. She is trained with her connected bike at home and participate to connected bike races with women from all over the world 🌍! Well! New to me! 😆 













This morning I went to the hardware store to get everything we need to work on the shed outside.

I bought a cover for our garden table to avoid the birds to come on it.

I had a 10 € vau her and used it inThe decoration store to get reduced prices items for the shed.

I don’t know if we will be able to work on the shed outsides tomorrow because the weather is not very nice as they had announced it!

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!


Indian garden from the Chateau!

Hello Friends ! I have just a few minutes peace so I just wanted to show the Indian garden of the castle that we can visit only once a year....
