~Like Sand Through the Hourglass~










The above pics courtesy of my daughter Caroline.
These boys are so into football..so into football.


...
So are the days of our lives~


Clematis and nasturtiums are the most prolific right now apart from the annual pots and baskets..
And thank goodness for those..

after a few parched days..I held the hose for almost 2 hrs ..and then in the aft the skies opened up..

like everything in gardens here ..it's feast or famine.

I held the hose for tomatoes and squash and herbs etc..and some annuals..I don't ..can't water all the perennial beds..


First of all..have to save the water..but I am not about to let my veggies and annuals die.

Things are coming along albeit late..

Many of you have known me since before Littles..look what's happening:(

OHMGEE all taller than me except Oli and Noah..
Both will be but not yet.. Oli is only 9.
Le bébé.
They play so well together.
The little one gets pushed..never complains..he is so tough.
He will push them one day.
Nice boys.
So grateful.

Look at these pics of them..my daughter..her phone and an app..
Unimaginable.
To me they look like a professional photog took them.
I love them.

Noah is in Belgium and Paris and I can't get the Ipad IG pics here so I have asked his mom to send me some on AOL for my next post about these ever growing boys.
Noah has seen and done more in his 11 years of life than I have in 65.
Almost.
My daughter took him on her own..2 weeks..Europe.
I could have never had the guts.
It's the strongest word I know apart from another one that would honestly surprise you..LOL:)

So if ever you feared making crepes..I just read a cookbook..and these are made w/ a tortilla.
EASY as mixing an egg w/ a tbsp of cream..
for savory..the usual s and p and herbs..and fill w/ ham and cheese or whatever..for sweet vanilla and fill w/ ice cream and fruit or jam.
EASY.
Egg mix in a bowl..coat one side of the tortilla w/ the mix..place in pan w/ some butter..then brush the top w/ more of the egg wash..cook both sides..and there you go!
Look here~

Bon weekend!

  1. I'm checking out the crepe article! Those look so pretty. I can't believe your boys are in their football garb in this heat -- is it as hot there as here? Oh, my!

    Happy week. The garden looks GLORIOUS!

  3. Happy weekend Monique! Your grandsons are all so very handsome! They will be fighting the girls off one day if they are not already! Fabulous photos of them. Fab - YOU - Lus! We have had a very rainy summer this year which makes the slugs and snails almost impossible to keep up with! They have totally decimated our bush beans, but thankfully the runner beans are doing okay. today it is just tipping it down and it figures. I have to take the bus into town and walk to the opticians. It costs far too much to park up and the taxis are too expensive. I will be drenched when I get there, but c'est la vie! Your gardens are so beautiful. I love them. I think you would be able to do a book with just your artwork, flower and garden photos and it would be a best seller! A coffee table book. Your crepes look beautiful. I never thought of using tortillas. You learn something new every day! Bonne weekend! xoxo

  7. Monique, your title is so perfect! The little have grown. It seems to happen without us realizing, then there it is ~ baby boys become young men. They are so handsome and joyful. One can see that in their smiles. Healthy to be out playing as a team! I think that is becoming a lost art for children here in the states. We have two young boys across the street. The oldest just celebrated 16. I like to watch them in the front yard playing catch, or shotting baskets in the hoop set up on the drive. Too many are inside, alone, and on electronics.
    Your photos always make me smile, your garden, the special delicious treats! You continually create beauty in all you do.
    Have a happy weekend!
