GARDENS BY T: GIVERNY AND MONET
http://gardensbyt.blogspot.com/2012/05/giverny-and-monet.html
Sunday, May 27, 2012. Giverny, a village in the province of Normandy is about 50 miles northwest of Paris. O n day two we traveled by motor coach to my most anticipated destination of the tour, Monet's Garden in Giverny. We passed fields of bright yellow canola. Drove along the Seine, saw a barge. And marveled at the quaintness of the homes and churches in the small villages. Canola field and tree infested with mistletoe. Monet's Giverny residence was a former cider farm. Sights and Sounds of The Garden.

http://gardensbyt.blogspot.com/2012/06/versailles.html
Saturday, June 16, 2012. In direct contrast to the bucolic setting of Monet's residence, we next visited Versailles. Versailles was formerly a hunting lodge, built by Louis XIII in 1624. Louis XIV expanded the hunting lodge into one of the largest palaces in the world. The Palace covers 37,000 acres and at one time had 1400 fountains. View of garden from Hall of Mirrors.

Monday, June 13, 2011. RANDOM SHOTS OF PEOPLE. Friday, April 22 was our last day in China. We left our hotel at 7:30 am to get ahead of rush hour traffic. It had rained overnight so the streets were wet and the sky was overcast. Our motor coach took us to the station to catch the Maglev Train which would transport us to Pudong International Airport. Here are some facts about the Maglev Train:. The Maglev travels at a top speed of about 430 km (267 miles) per hour. This is our last full day in China.

GARDENS BY T: January 2010
http://gardensbyt.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html
Saturday, January 30, 2010. Wow, it's so difficult to get back into the swing of things after the holidays. Thanksgiving and Christmas were so enjoyable. I loved spending time with family. We talked, we played games, we opened gifts, we laughed, we cooked, we ate and we ate, and we ate. Is it possible to have a get together without a table laden with food in our midst? Now it's the end of January. It's back to work, it's back to the gym, it's back to eating sensibly again. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

http://gardensbyt.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html
Saturday, July 17, 2010. I mentioned in my last post that I'm leafing through old gardening magazines. I'm coming across loads of useful information. One of my gardening friends who lives in the country happened to mention how much she dreads encountering a snake. The next day, I read a tidbit about repelling animals.for snakes, ring your garden with sisal rope. Snakes won't crawl across it. Sunday, July 11, 2010. More on Bird of Paradise. From a 1994 edition of "Horticulture":. Native of South Africa.

Onstage acted scenes with onscreen taped interviews with two holocaust survivors, Eva Schloss. In the play program Mrs. Schloss. As the audience left the theater, a student reminded us to "always remember". Unfortunately man's inhumanity to man continues to occur around the world. Chouchou. What will it take to stop the madness!

Wednesday, July 29, 2009. My summer bulbs, which are mostly in containers, are beginning to bloom and I'm looking forward to the fantastic show they will present over the remainder of the growing season. I repotted most of the bulbs in the spring, nothing was labelled. I like surprises! The Morning Glories have started to bloom, so most days begin with a stroll around the garden, coffee cup in hand. Wednesday, July 22, 2009. Goldenrod grows along the roadside but I like using it as a nice backdrop for my...
