{Fall is the Spring of Winter}

It is a good thing that around us, in nature and often in our own garden, little miracles happen.

That sure does soften the harsh outlook into this world at times of grief for so many...

Fall is the Spring of Winter ~ Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec

Der Herbst ist der Frühling des Winters (German translation)...
Our Citrus trees blooming on November 11!

Lots of highly fragrant flowers are opening up.
But on Saturday, November 14 we had around 34°F or 1°C and thus, Pieter did bring all our tender tropical pot plants into the greenhouse.

In a previous post I did show you already this Monarch Butterfly...

Such a lovely sight and what a delicious nectar source for the Monarch Butterfly!
I myself also LOVE honey collected from orange blossoms.

Indeed, Fall is the Spring of Winter!

Wishing the Monarch Butterfly good luck when it makes its journey south bound and may the Citrus Trees continue their blooming inside the greenhouse.

Blessings and Peace!

{French Porcelain Lampe Berger Angelot Cherub Cameo}

Lampe Berger Cherub Cameo Angelot is one of my favorites! This one is made out of porcelain and comes with the heavy gold cap. If you love authentic French Cherubs, Angels or Angelot as much as I do; this is your chance to own one too. It is in perfect condition!

No longer available but I do have ONE for sale in my boutique...  Mariette's Back to Basics . 

Just click the above hyperlink.

And I for sure would NOT sell my privately owned piece!

The opaque Cameo is surrounded by a golden circle to make it even stand out more.

The bottom side with its Lampe Berger mark.

This is the REAL French thing.

You will not find any better French Country Style than this.

{Monarch Butterfly - Danaus Plexippus}

On November 12 I was lucky to capture a beautiful Monarch Butterfly Danaus plexippus while it was feasting on a Citrus Flower.

This is a screen shot from the video I made.
There is a spider inside and on the video you see it come outside.

Twice this Monarch butterfly opened its wings for me; very kind!
Do you notice those thorns on the Citrus tree?
They are mean as hell for bringing inside and out of the greenhouse...

Hope you enjoyed this beautiful Monarch butterfly!
