Everybody’s still growing tall and getting ready to get their own pot… And we welcomed a new player in the garden family today! Monsieur Basilic. I buy a basil plant every Spring, and today was B day! When I got home, Miss Freja had to inspect the newcomer; Apparently, the ghost in the corner…… Continue reading Go garden! – Meet Monsieur Basilic!
I love waxwing birds… They are among my favorite feathered friends, and I am lucky because we have a lot of them in my neighbourhood, even if I live in a big city. I prefer their name in French, though. Jaseur de bohème, litterally “Bohemian chatter”. More poetic than “waxwing”. I like the little things,…… Continue reading My crazy brains…
I wanted to do a 3 weeks follow up yesterday, but I had a lot to do, and when I finally got to it, the sun had set and the garden was in bed. Yes, a garden sleeps! Don’t wonder why your indoor plants always end up dying if you didn’t know that! We all…… Continue reading Go garden!… (day 22)
My seeds have been sitting on the side of the window, and I have been cheering them ever since… See the original post here! Day 5… Roll the drums! Thyme has taken a clear lead, shyly followed by lettuce… You can still place your bets! Grow! Grow! Grow!
It must be one or the other. Or both, maybe. Yesterday, I was on my way to the office kitchen (yes, at work again…) and one of the cleaning ladies happened to pass me by. Bla bla bla, we were exchanging small talk, when she suddenly said I smelled good. It caught me a little…… Continue reading I love you… or… You stink!
Some of you might remember me talking about my favorite author ever… Amélie Nothomb! I will meet her tonight! Totally unexpected! I learned today that she was going to meet with readers in a library here in Montréal this evening. This dang evening!! I asked my boss to leave a little early, and hope…… Continue reading Dreams come true…
I love growing things… It is magical to see the little leaves pointing out of the soil, and getting bigger and bigger as the days go by and the temperature gets warmer outside… Because of my trip to Denmark, I didn’t make my balcony garden last year. But today, I got my little kit ready,…… Continue reading Go garden!
Now, here’s one most of you will be able to understand 😉 Groenland is a band from Montréal, who shot this videoclip based on the true story of Peter Skyllberg, a Swedish man who was saved after spending two months in his car, in a hibernation state, after having an accident. Québec music… Scandinavian link… Fun…… Continue reading Cyranny’s Jukebox…
I knew there was something going on. Mother Nature was a bit (being polite here) up and down the past few years, but this Winter, she went c.r.a.z.y! I believed she was off her pills at first, but it was worse than that. There is only one thing that could drive a woman insane like…… Continue reading A new love story…
I would probably recommend that you’d come during Summer time. But there are 12 months in a year, and Winter has its advantages… Probably… LOL Today, J and her big sister (who really isn’t big) came to town to visit Montreal Science Center. We were supposed to see the Humpback Whales 3D Imax movie, but it…… Continue reading If you came to Montréal… (8)
