outdoors and indoors

Last week there was a lot of noise outdoors :

it turned out to be

the noise of a chainsaw

(which makes me nervous most of the time)

Some man were busy on the little island

right on the other side of the water next to our garden.

I looked in terror :

Would they really ? ........ Noooo !

the gorgeous weeping willows

In a devastating trapeze act

the man were decimating the two trees

untill ...

there were only two pitiful remnants instead of

two majestic trees

( "it will be for the best" the Parks Department will probably say ... yuk !)

This tiny creature gave me more fun :

Lissotriton vulgaris (a newt)

he (or she) was hiding with another sibling and mum under the geraniums

(but the picture of the three of them wasn't sharp enough)

*

And indoors the stitching on the sunny heart piece went on and on ...

After all the "sun rays" were there

(in rainbow colours)

the magic thread was stitched in place.

Which left me only with the invisible basting of the backside

which I did today !

 

"A warm heart"

will be send of to France tomorrow

 to a very dear friend

(and namesake)
