Creations...concoctions...

*The sun is hot, it's still a pleasure...

*Early mornings, quiet afternoons, late evenings watering the garden.

*The summer life is there.

*A new name is coming ... in my heart so far ;)

*Do you remember the redcurrants i picked the other day?

*Delicious....

Which one do you prefer?

*Two days ago, I found this design competition on the web and I am now taking part in it.

*It's about designing a bean bag... and I did two versions...

*So, which one do you prefer?

*If you have a bit of time, if you like what I have done and would like to vote for me :)

Have a nice week-end!

Cueillette

*Yesterday was a beautiful sunny day! The first real summer day of the year!

*It was warm, no fresh wind, we could hear the bees around and all the other little insects enjoying the sun!

*A perfect day for picking fruits = "cueillette" in french... I like that word :)

Morocco#The End

*Here are the last pictures about our trek in Morrocco:

a few paintings of Yves Saint-Laurent at the Majorelle's garden

and the airport, both in Marrakech.

*A lot of memories: the walks through the "berbere villages" in the mountains, the traditionnal mint tea, the families where we stayed and the bit of their life they shared with us, the sound of the call for the prayer, the children, the houses, the donkeys, the lively Marrakech, the food...

*Now, it's finally sunny here...

I won't say it's summer just in case it goes back again...

Have a nice day everyone! :)

Memories...

*A really bad weather...

it seems we are back in November... cold and wet :(

*The thank you cards are ready to be send...

A thank you for all the nice words we had since my grandma is in the other world.

*A lot of tears, it's more difficult than i thought,

we knew she was suffering a lot and that the end could be soon...

but still, it's more difficult than i thought...

i can't realize i won't see her, listen her, speak with her anymore...

i regret i didn't tell her more how much i loved her, how much i was proud she was my grandma, all the memories, the games, the projects we had together, how much i feel close to her...

how much i was and i am crossed against the illness which has taken her...

Her name is up

*A name is up, Flowers are beautiful, Sun is coming through the windows
*The journey continues...
