Gardening is a little hobby that I share with my oldest son. Since we don't have a yard, we've put our hearts & fingers into creating a wild flower / herbal garden on the terrace.
Very therapeutic & sweet.
This is what we've come up with this year:
These roses still live indoors but soon they'll also move to the balcony, with an old flower post from Madrid:
My son is into herbs and all things you can eat, while my dream is creating an unruly garden full of roses and wildflowers.
Our ideal would be a Tuscany style vineyard, a rich orchard with branches creating a leafy roof over the terrace...Krhm. With some obvious limitations due to weather rather than imagination or ambition, we do our best...
Voilà, my son's kingdom:
Another little hobby we share with the kids is baking. Also therepeutic, and lovely.
This is our version of carrot and walnut cake - never fails:
In fact, doing just about any everyday thing with my two boys is so much more fun as they get excited and inspired by each little task...
Thanks to them, even I've found a long-lost childlike joy in so many things I'd forgotten were fun...♥.
My son likes to grow basil and other accidental herbs in the kitchen, while the bathroom is the land of orchids.
It's a lovely touch, as my father had a habit of buying me orchids. Those flowers always make me think about him. But in a beautiful rather than teary manner.
The most beautiful orchids I've ever seen were brought to me by my dad, after I'd given birth to my baby sons.
So dear friends, you can imagine how it feels like destiny, the universe or something, is sending me a little kiss when my boys now grow orchids for me ♥.

Allu has promised to give me a few lessons in photography this summer in France (he's amongst the lovely hurdle of friends who'll drop by to visit us in the South of France as the kids & I'll spend the whole summer there), so soon you shall be pampered by photos as exquisite as this...on a regular basis.
Allu is a multitasking talent who could be a professional photographer, actor, musician - or lawyer. While he's bending strongly towards law and order, I'd be one happy camper if I could reach his level in just one of these things...
Let's see how far I go :).

~* Love is *~
Last night I couldn't sleep. In that clouded state of neither awake nor asleep, I decided to come up with a comprehensive definition of love.
I don't recommend this kind of lonely midnight hour activity to anyone.
Anyways, these are the images/moments I came up with...
My father, so proud, taking care of his first-born grandchild, Ael:
A dear friend, having finally found his true soulmate:
Hopes and dreams of a bride...
It's there, between my mother and my oldest son (here still a baby):
It's in the quality time, however fleeting, between a mother and her child:
In friendship:
It's in Annica and Bernardo.
And it's there, in the moment of the last goodbye.
