Surrealism

It’s been 3 weeks that fog is part of the landscape. If it is sometimes a good excuse to stay cosy in the bed in the morning, the temperature is rather warm and I am enjoying walking around: I feel sometimes in a complete surrealist world, surrounded by the invisible and my own imagination. ThisContinue reading “Surrealism”

In the garden

Guess what I found in the garden? Guess who will be fighting to be the first to pick those? Guess who might be disappointed because the wild world knows better the garden than me for sure…. I might have to prepare the war against the deers and squirrels and place a net on them… shallContinue reading “In the garden”

Foggy Fourth

It was the 4th July few days ago. They say it is a big day in the US! I don’t know if it was fortunate or unfortunate, but the current situation made this day rather normal for me – COVID19, remote working, no friends or family around with whom celebrate, no parade allowed this year,Continue reading “Foggy Fourth”

Tops

Even though I have a superb compost bin (see my homemade one in my post « Composting»), I try my best to use and eat all what is eatable, and throw a minimum, leaving only what I really can’t eat. And most of the time this makes me discover little delicatessen… Do you remember the superContinue reading “Tops”

It was Father’s day

Yeah!!! It was father’s day last Sunday. So black flies must have gone, if we believe the Maine’s say. I discovered a secret path yesterday and decided to follow it. I expected maybe to meet up with Maine’s Troll or other dwelling being… I got such a strange feeling sometimes when discussing with squirrel orContinue reading “It was Father’s day”

Unusual Monday

Monday. The beginning of the week. Usually serious, heavy from the weight of the work week to come. Rush from the list of things to do. Desperate for the wait of the next weekend, finishing reheated left over food…. But today was special. Today I saw a plane in the sky. Today almost all theContinue reading “Unusual Monday”

Day 93 – warmest so far

I am still at home, very slowly coming out… Last weekend, I had my first social experiences for a long time: a physically distanced hike with a friend and a walk with a large crowd in the peaceful march against racism. Otherwise, I didn’t meet much people since ages…. Maybe that’s the reason why IContinue reading “Day 93 – warmest so far”

Fireworks

I committed to run a half marathon on the 7th of June (See my post “Commitment” of March 15). Well, they canceled it, that was predictable, but I was determined to pursue my goal. So yes, I did it! Sunday, late morning, alone, with my super high tech backpack, staying conservative and ending turning aroundContinue reading “Fireworks”

Little wonders

It has been about 10 years that I didn’t feel spring. I was living on the Equator where there is little changes all along the year: seasons are very similar, even though native people would say that there is a raining and a dry season…. But flowers bloom 2-3 times per year, trees loose theirContinue reading “Little wonders”

Day 80 – Blue sky

Blue sky. No line. No disturbance. No plane, harmony at a glance. No travel. No retrouvailles*… Good for the Earth. Hard for the I; I am loking forward to seeing planes in the sky…. *retrouvailles in french: unique term that describes the happiness of meeting someone that is very dear to you after a longContinue reading “Day 80 – Blue sky”
