Vegetable plot update and flowers

One strawberry plant is in the vegetable plot while the other one is in a pot. I had two strawberries half eaten by insects once they turned red. So I kept a close watch on these three strawberries. We did manage to eat them and they were real sweet.

The vegetable plot is getting crowded. The zucchini leaves are getting big and there are beautiful yellow flowers. The tomato plant is taller.

I picked the zucchini flowers and dipped them into chickpea flour and water. I fried them and Seb liked them. It is interesting to be eating flowers.

Speaking of flowers, for my birthday, I received two beautiful bouquets. One from Seb's parents and one from Seb. That's double happiness. Though these flowers can't be eaten, they are feast for the eyes.

Book: De tes nouvelles

I borrowed this book from the village library. It was an easy read. No suspense, just a story of a father and her young girl ending their 7 years of road trip by settling down at Valentine's home. Eric, the father slowly got over the death of his wife and came to love Valentine. The young girl Anna-Nina made friends easily with everyone.

There were other characters who recited their lives along the way. 

Heart warming story and how a family formed between the main characters and their friends. The author has humor and some conversations between the characters were really funny.

This is Agnès Ledig's second book. Her first book, Juste avant le bonheur, is well received too. I shall check if the library has it.
