Feeling really HAPPY in Georgia and I'm a SUMMER person too.
Guess with my training inside the summer greenhouse (hot-house!) of around 120ºF or 49ºC I got very well pre-conditioned for living in Georgia and for working in the tropics!
All our Felines LOVE to frolic outside in the summer.
Either on the driveway, inside our gazebo, some spot on the patio or on the lawn.
They all find a favorite spot.
Here I'm holding our very silky boy Bandido.
He has a white cross on his chest.
His parents were Mexican, we did bring his Mamita home with us on the plane and had NO CLUE she was pregnant with 5 kittens!
All born at our home and we kept them.
We have lost since Bandido's sister Sacha but he still has 2 sisters and 1 brother.
Wearing cotton feels great, like this Outlet score a cotton top from Escada and the pants are from Apriori7, a line from Escada as well.
My cotton Hat Attack NYC Gavroche is also a favorite. Shown here earlier: {My Hat Attack NYC GAVROCHE}.

Showing off my Beach Wave hair...
Natural curls, the older I get, the more it curls! Color is 100% natural too.
Our Rose Arbor is still one of my favorites, even though the 2 Eden white or, Pierre de Ronsard roses, are struggling...
Still loving our Golden Mist paint color + my crocheted Fleur de Lys curtains in the veranda...
View of the garden side...
Our Wood Trail starts here and winds to the right and towards the back...
Bye for now!
Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment.

Hello Mariette, You look great and really ready for summer. I'm very glad that things, including the weather, are going well for you, and that you have lots of great extra company with those "kittens!"
ReplyDelete--Jim
Dearest Jim,
DeleteYes, so far the summer has been good, after a very wet month of May. We can bike regularly and those kittens actually behave more like doggies. So attached to us and wherever you are outside, they come and join you.
Thanks for your kind words!
Mariette
Ma chère Mariette,
ReplyDeleteSuch a gorgeous cat! And his mama (i.e., you) isn't bad either. You look so great! Glad to see you are feeling better (no cane) and looking so fit. Isn't it nice to have curly hair? I have come to appreciate it as I've grown older.
Bises, Marie-Thérèse
Dearest Marie-Thérèse,
DeleteThank you dear and we all try to look healthy and stay active!
My hair is easy to take care of, convenient and I love my curls.
Hugs,
Mariette
Wauw...je ziet er goed uit Mariette... Je broek vind ik fantastisch, mooi model.
ReplyDeleteVan petten houd ik niet, zeg het maar eerlijk. Een hoed vind ik mooier.
Je roos heeft het inderdaad moeilijk, de Eden Rose is eigenlijk best een gemakkelijke groeier. Misschien toch de warmte daar? Alhoewel het hier al 2 maanden ook constant zo warm is, doen de rozen het fantastisch dit jaar.
Beste Marian,
DeleteJa dank je! Die broek is een heerlijk model ook om te reizen, dunne katoen met viscose en iets elastisch. Doorgestikte naadjes voor en achter en ik was 'm zelf niet! Is nog altijd mooi op lengte.
Ja wij begrijpen het niet van de rozen, ze zijn 2 jaar nu maar staan echt te prukken. Ja zeg maar gerust de hitte; voor zo'n 3 maanden gaat het bóven de 35 graden en dat is niet in de zon.
Je geeft het bijna op... Triest!
Jullie grond is zoveel beter en veel beter water-houdend. Hier absoluut niet en als het regent dan loopt het de helling af, de beek in en wèg.
Geniet van jullie rozen en zo af en toe geniet ik mee, op je blog...
Liefs,
Mariette
Dear Mariette - I am pleased to see that you are once again fit and well and free of your crutches. You obviously thrive in the sun - here it is far too hot - we have an ongoing heatwave and our lawn is now the colour of straw.
ReplyDeleteDearest Rosemary,
DeleteOh you bet, I'm pleased to for being able to go biking and being outdoors.
Yes, warm weather and sunshine is for me, not that I'm a sun worshipper - not at all. Can't lay still long enough...
Sad for your lawn, that must be unusual as you do have good varieties of grass in Europe that remain green, even through winter.
Sending you hugs,
Mariette
Beautiful lady;-) Have a nice weekend!
ReplyDeleteDearest Anne,
DeleteThank you and hope you have enjoyed a nice summer weekend as well.
Hugs,
Mariette
Hi Mariette, I love the photo of you and Bandido! He does look very silly! Your curly hair looks great with that cool hat. I’m getting more and more gray hair but probably will keep natural color. Happy summer! xo
ReplyDeleteDearest Tamago,
DeleteOh, Bandido is like real silk, so soft and smooth.
He too loves to be brushed and/or combed but he has nothing to take off his fur!
I've never regretted letting my hair be natural all my life, no damage done that way and why not let nature rule?!
Wishing you and your boys a happy summer too.
Hugs,
Mariette
Cute outfit, cute lady. I am happy it is summer too. I have decided to finally quit coloring my hair...and not everyone is happy about it, but I figure I can always change my mind.
ReplyDeleteDearest Janey,
DeleteThank you for you kind comment and yes, I love summer time.
Having natural hair is so convenient and I guess nature knows best.
Hugs,
Mariette
Hello Mariette
ReplyDeleteVery cute Bandido ! And your garden is superb.
You are very beautiful Mariette :)
Hugs
Dearest Nathalie,
DeleteThank you very much for your kind words and yes Bandido is a spoiled cat boy but we love him to death.
Hugs,
Mariette
Dear Mariette,
ReplyDeleteyou really look wonderful in this outfit, and it really looks, like you are a summer person!
It is so nice, to see you happy, healthy and laughing in the sunshine :O)
Thank you for those lovely pictures!
Wishing you and Pieter a wonderful weekend,
we here are waiting for some rain, everything is so dry and we must water the plants almost each day ...
Sending much Love and hugs, Claudia xo
Dearest Claudia,
DeleteThank you and yes, I am happy in summer!
When we bike in the fields we talk about how lush the corn, soy beans and peanut plants look.
We had a very wet May and still enough thunder storms with rain in the evening or at night.
Looks like crops will be very good this year!
Hugs,
Mariette
You look fabulous Mariette and love the sweet cat too.
ReplyDeleteHave a nice weekend.
Dearest Sami,
DeleteThank you and Bandido is such a sweet boy!
Happy week for you.
Hugs,
Mariette
Dear Mariette,
ReplyDeleteSo lovely to see you well and happy and enjoying the wonderful summer days.
Your Bandido is very cute and love the Arbour. Hopefully the roses will improve with time.
Enjoy your Sunday
hugs
Carolyn
Dearest Carolyn,
DeleteOh, how happy I was for being given the green light on June 14.
Love to be outdoors and to bike together with Pieter.
Hugs,
Mariette
Great pictures. The gazebo is lovely and your surroundings so beautiful! Happy Sunday!
ReplyDeleteDearest Tammy,
DeleteThank you very much and I'm not yet completely caught up for enjoying the gazebo or balcony but soon I will!
Hugs,
Mariette
I love the arbor. I love your hair color. You look so great in that outfit, fit and trim I must say. A very handsome cat Bandido is and I can see he is not camera shy and loves being held.
ReplyDeleteHappy Sunday Mariette and Pieter,
Betsy
Dearest Betsy,
DeleteThank you very much and yes, Bandido is so free with us and thinks I'm his Mom since I was there when the kittens got born in our home. They know my voice so well.
Hugs,
Mariette
Que lindo seu gato. Mas seu cabelo está belíssimo. Tu estas muito linda e magra. Eu estou gorda tenho que emagrecer, hahaha
ReplyDeleteBjos tenha um ótimo verão. Aqui está muito frio. Sinto falta do verão.
Querido Anajá, obrigado pelo seu comentário amável e eu não sou magro, apenas tendo um frame minúsculo eu supor. Sempre fui assim, nunca ganhei nenhum peso. Oh, como eu sempre temo os tempos de inverno... Tão feliz quando é verão! Enviando-lhe abraços e sol,
DeleteMariette
