lazy gardening

The truth is that I know nothing about gardening. I also don't know English so well

and I do blog in English trying  not to think how funny or stupid I must appear many times with

my ridiculous English.

So why not trying to grow the flowers that I so love since my childhood.

I had time yesterday while waiting for my car in the garage (45,000 km treatment, in 2 years.) so I bought

those seeds in the near shop.

It says that they have to be in water 4 hours before planting.

Those Tropaelum are invasive plants. They came here from South America and we call them Monk's hat.I know Shirley in Australia loves them too.

Stones

Poor Edmund had kidney stones so we had to take him to the vet.

He stayed there over night and now he is back with some medicines and new food that

he does not like.

I  spent all afternoon outside watching him trying to  find shelter behind my neighbors house.

The last time I went out I found that one of the houses in the neighborhood is on fire and

the fire fighters are there.

Those are too big stories that could be told in a more interesting way if I had more time.

home before the storm

Encouraged by some of you I shall tell you more about my experiences as a busy grandmother.But it will be short because of the weather circumstances.

I had to leave earlier today because every one is talking about the big storm .

Before I left we had some grandmothers activity like football and gymnastics.

The storm is not here yet  but they are still talking about it.

48 hours

I know how boring it is for other people

to read about and see other's grandchild's photos.

But for me the last 48 hours were a joy.

I did not speak to  grown up person for 48 hours.  It was only me and the 3  of them.

every time I  let them eat some sweets the 6 years boy said: "how spoiled we are".

Again

I wanted to write about the signs of normality here.

When the bikes riders are back on the road on Saturday this is one of the signs.

But now things are getting bad again.Fear is the key word.

I have to go to my hair dresser and I am afraid again. Should I come back in one piece or should I be stabbed or shot or get my head wounded by a stone.

I think I shall go.

1700 years after

When ever paving road near my place,there is something new being discovered.

This time is a Mikve (small pool) fool of cooking pots. candles and more things that were used 1700 years ago.

On the walls of the pool there are signatures of 2 Australians soldiers who were there while WW2.

( the photos are by Asaf Perez).

I discovered those amazing news while I was  in the gas station that I am visiting once a week and only by chance I was looking to the other side of the road. How many more things I miss when I am not looking carefully.

 

Under the Pine tree

So we have our mushrooms too. Almost like in France...

I had to look under the Olive tree in my garden and there they were.

Those are the only mushroom that I know here that can be cooked.

This is the first and the last day that they can be found. After the first or second rain in the

begining of the winter.They are called after the Pine tree which they are suopose to grow under, but for some reason I have them here under the Olive tree.Somtimes they get like sponge while being cooked so may be this is the reason why only few in my family like them.When I was a child we used to spend hours looking after them in the forests of the north and came home with empty baskets.

I think this is one of the few things in my life that got beter with the years.
