What a cheery sight, Elizabeth! And all those plants remind me of the gardens in Jamaica. Ah… gives me nice thoughts of the ‘tropics’, especially at this time of year.

Thank you, Maniparna. My favorites are the yellow hibiscus. It was buried by the fire stick bushes and I didn’t know it was there until I trimmed them. A lovely surprise. 🙂

Bonsoir gentille ELIZABETH
Le Bonheur est une plume
La plus légère qui soit
Jamais assez belle pour toi
Ma Plume je la partage avec toi
Le Bonheur se cueille comme une fleur
Il faut prendre soin avec précaution
Il faut attention que celui-ci ne se fane pas
Par ces petits mots de Bonheur
Passe une agréable soirée
Prends bien soin de toi
Bises , Bernard
Je t’offre un petit café ou tisane
