The good news is that my laptop seems to be working fine this morning. I don't understand what happened yesterday. As my late friend Charles-Henry used to say:
Ce sont les mystères et les joies de l'électronique. The bad news is that it's raining again. Here are some photos of the neighborhood.
Above left, the vineyard out behind our back gate, with our yard and house in the distance. Above right, the yard north of our house; the reddish-brown tree in the background is a plum tree in our neighbor's yard.
The linden tree (
un tilleul) and an apple tree (
un pommier) in our back yard. Both are growing leaves now. Blossoms will come later.
The little white flowers are called
pâquerettes (Easter daisies) in French — "lawn daisies" in English. They're wild and they grow all around us this time of year. The photo on the left is apparently a bay laurel (as in "bay leaves" or
laurier sauce) sporting its springtime flower stalks and clusters.

After a glorious sunny two weeks here, light rain today too. Your garden and outlook are so beautiful. The flowers by the wall look like bergenia, (elephant’s ears), rabbits have a liking for ours, so rarely get to view the flowers! Pats🚜
ReplyDeleteWe had fairly heavy rain overnight, but today has been just gray and windy, with little to no rain falling. People here call those bergenia plants "saxifrage" I think. We don't have many rabbits here, but there are hares. Our yard is fenced in, so maybe that protects the plants.
DeleteAhh, the views of springtime :)
ReplyDeleteGlad your laptop is up an running!
Wow! Your back yard looks amazing!
