Uh, oh, mama’s calling me to take some shots of our neighbor’s masterpiece.

BEFORE – Late spring (naturally I did NOT take this today, haha. I have a stash of photos for all occasions).

AFTER – NOW!

THE GURU

Well, I know you’ve seen this spectacular garden in other blogs, but each year is a marvel and it’s what I gaze at all day long, watching the rondoneles swooping down to get insects that hover over the plants, and it’s what provides such pleasure for us when our generous neighbour calls out to haul up a bucket of tomatoes or cucumbers or fresh eggs from those squawkers he raises.  This morning, in the middle of pock, pock, POCK that went on for some times papa said, “Houston, I think we have egg.”

And mama ’bout fell off her chair because laughing with a mouthful of French baguette, butter and peaches is not easy.

Here is one of the many pails of produce that our neighbors share with us!  Little new potatoes, tomatoes and seedless cukes.

This is Mme. Guru, Christine, one of the most amazing bunyette-makers in the world.  They litter-allly (haha) float off the plate!

Bunyettes are essentially fried dough, but very, very light dough and they must be made by someone who knows what she’s doing!  Christine!

And here is the perfect couple, come to visit, thanks to our lovely neighbors.

Uh, oh, our neighbour is calling out to mama to come get something else!  I’m going out there to thank them (they LOVES kitties!).
