Can't believe it's August..Mylène turns 44..Lucas 14..Giuliana 18 and Adamo 20 yesterday.
44 !! LOL..No way;) Way.
It's the time..of the season;)
Everything food wise happens at one in QC it seems apart from greenhouse and such ..
But in the earth here now is the time things begin to come forth and prosper.
It's a mean feat this year ..as drought is playing havoc on everything..
And when rain did appear this week it was torrential! Power outage for ap 5 hrs..wind..tomatoes and large plants toppled over.I was staking things when it was still drizzling..not enough rain to do any good at all at all at all..short lived damaging downpour on anything tall.:(
A boatload of work.
Some happy news..the globe zucchinis I am growing are growing..I did just try a new technique and hope I didn't shoot myself in the knee..that is an expression right?
Hope not..look how cute.I'm in lust.
I bundled up my Ail Rose..the rest is curing still in the Sheshed.
My faves are blooming nicely although I need a pick and and axe to get rid of so many Annabelles..they are all over the place and invasive in 3 spots for me.
Want some? Be my guest come dig up..I just can't anymore lol.
Save your jars kiddos..some are perfect with the perfect plants..i.e..apricot:)
A sweet thing happened this week.I went to pick up a Varage Sale item..
Not even far away..near Costco..I know the area..
I hate my GPS.
Never use it..it's an older one..much older ..
I bought it because a bell rang when I was to turn..or get off somewhere.
But the bell rang too late..she couldn't speak French properly and every street is in French here..anyway..you get the pic.
So I took a screenshot of Google Maps..on my mini IPad..and off I went forgetting my phone..I never have that either because I don't have data and it takes crappy pics lol.
A phone should take great pics.
So it's an emerg phone.Period.
Jacques had cautioned me..take your phone..
Because I get lost in a phone booth.
No kidding at all.
Well sure enough I was lost.
I asked a woman taking out her garbage..she said..oh in there somewhere..not sure..sorry..
Then after going around in circles..on a stinking hot day..I spotted a walker..and stopped my car and excused myself because she had to take her earphones out to hear me..lol..
I asked her where the street was..
She had no clue either.I told her about my legendary lack of sense of direction and she said OHMETOO.
I instantly love OHMETOO people.
So she said wait.. my phone! She used her GPS..and I wasn't far but we both had no clue lol..her phone must take great pics though w/ such a fab on foot GPS:)
I said oh you should come with me..she said SURE!
And hopped in my car..and came with me .To.The.Door.♥
IT really wasn't far but how sweet was she?
Marisa.
Marisa.
Marisa.
I LOVED HER.lol.
We were maybe 3 minutes away but without her? I would have bawled.
Anyway ..I just made a pot of mint tea yesterday because of Carol..
Go see her post with the great July letter and her other art work including mint tea.Always so inspiring..
It inspired me to put a pot on:)
As for me..this happens ..quite a bit:)
Got some new paper will share next post~
Bon weekend!
