We have acquired three chickens, which means three fresh eggs every day. OK it brings work with it, but I love being outdoors and I don't mind a bit of cleaning. I can recycle the droppings on the garden and even the ashes from our wood fire work as a disinfectant should the case arise. Wednesday I celebrated my birthday and this weekend Michaël (my son) and Roxane celebrated their engagement, so I was busy baking. I made some chocolate cupcakes with a Blackcurrant paste and almond wedges over the top.
I am entering these into Our Beautiful World, the theme being 'Yellow' this week. The link is here.
My Zucchini and Tomato tart.. I used to think that Zucchini's were only green, but they are the most beautiful color yellow as well!
A tree that grows in the Southern warmer countries (thus France) is called MIMOSA. It has very delicate flowers which have the most heavenly scent!
My beautiful Hybiscus.
And last but not least, a beautiful Sunflower field. The season has just finished here and now is the time for making Sunflower oil.
These were the 'yellows' from my country, the South of France.
Have a lovely day! We are having lovely yellow sunshine today too!!
