On Good Friday, April 3, it was already lovely weather and we were out in the garden and our gazebo.
Happy with my Escada Stretch Pants
Never we can walk alone, there is always that cat-magnet and they love to be held and cuddled.
This is Bandido, Spooky's brother and one of the four remaining siblings.
Sure, picking them up, you get covered in pollen as that is everywhere around this time.
Yes, I'm also chained... wearing my 22 kt gold belly chain since the 90s when we lived and worked in Indonesia.
Also love my suede Cole Haan lace-up boots for walking!
Speckie is on the floor...
These pants do have some velvet strips along the sides in a very dark brown, almost black.
Haha, pollen on the floor, and left is Bandido, center is Speckie and Barty to the right...
That's one of my favorite weekday stretch pants.

Dearest Mariette ; where so I start ? You look absolutely gorgeous ... great outfit and photos. I especially love the photo of you holding Bandido. Your smile is beautiful, you are definitely soaking up the warm weather. Wishing you both a blessed week ahead...xo
ReplyDeleteDearest Celia,
DeleteThank you so much for your sweet words. Yes, we enjoyed the outdoors before the heavy rain started. Today and tomorrow it is sunny with blue sky so we are very happy for a change!

ReplyDeleteBeste Irena,
DeleteDank je en ik heb genetisch gewoon geluk denk ik maar. Wel heb ik nooit gerookt en ook nooit gedronken en snoepen doe ik ook niet i.v.m. mijn diabetes type 2. Ben erg gelukkig hier met man en poezen in een mooi huis en grote tuin. Ons paradijsje waar we vaak tijd met lieve vrienden delen.
Liefs,
Mariette

Liebe Mariette,
ReplyDeleteeine wirklich schöne Hose. Sieht toll aus mit den Applikationen.
Deine Katzen sind wirklich wunderschön. Und so treue Begleiter.
Auch bei uns fliegen die Pollen und machen vielen Menschen zu schaffen.
Einen guten Abend wünscht dir
Irmi
Liebe Irmi,
DeleteDanke und ja, wir haben sehr treue Begleiter hier!
Vom Pollen habe ich Gott sei Dank keine Probleme, nur das gelbe Staub hat man davon...
Alles Liebe,
Mariette
Dear Mariette,
ReplyDeleteYou are always stylish, even on a casual walk, and don't you just look adorable in your cute stretch pants! So many lovely friends to keep you company, too! I have no idea how you tell them all apart :) We have lots of pollen here, too and my deck and vehicles are covered in green dust! A good excuse to do a bit of washing, I suppose! Hope your week is going well, my Dear. Hugs xo Karen
Dearest Karen,
DeleteWell, in the beginning it was kind of hard for telling our felines apart but now we know by voice, by movements and by looks. They're all quite different, just like humans are e.g. when having twins or triplets...
We have had so much rain for an entire week and guess all the pollen got washed off. Washing is the only remedy for getting rid of it indeed. But it belongs to life's cycle and I don't mind as spring is so very rewarding in many ways!
Our week is lovely as we had sunshine and a blue sky today and for tomorrow again.
Hugs,
Mariette
You are looking so good and very happy.
ReplyDeleteDearest Nataša,
DeleteThank you and yes, I am very happy here! We love our felines, home and garden and each other.
Hugs,
Mariette

Hello Mariette!
ReplyDeleteI'll choose this post for my comment after my return from "down under"!!!
You look soooo handsome in the wonderful stretch pants, the best feel at ease and good looking :)
The design is great, I would buy them straight away if I saw them for sale, although I wear much more military camouflage clothing for my photo sessions!!
I hope you are well.... you look so by your pics!, and I wish you great sunny days ahead :)
Hugs from back to France :( !!!!
Dearest Noushka,
DeleteWelcome back home from your short trip to Australia! Being with your son and grandchild was of course lovely.
Thanks for the compliment and I can see why you need to wear military camouflage clothing or else it would not result into such fabulous shots!
Yes, I'm very well and happy and the sun is shining for the 3rd day now after over a week long wet and dreary weather.
Hugs,
Mariette
You're very healthy one. And the belly chain is still intact , bravo !!!
ReplyDeleteHugs Mariette
Dearest Nathalie,
DeleteThank you and I guess the belly chain will last me a lifetime.
Hugs,
Mariette
