Raspberry muffin à la Coeur de sucre

Delphine from Parfums de Gourmandises has a theme for the month of May: Cupcakes May.
She has already made 3 differents cupcakes for this month and i was charmed by her Raspberries cupcake.

Here are mines:

I've made them for Hubby and i but also for my friend who's jut became a mother. She liked my cupcake ;)

As i will have some free times coming weeks i hope to post more often on what i've baked, cooked, sewed and gardenned ;)

See you very soon!!

Last chapter on garden construction and more....

Our backyard is ready!!! Last weekend i've planted all my tomatoes, cucumber, eggplants, letuce and strawberries in my veggie garden.
Monday Hubby and I also placed the bright white gravel which is the finishing touch of our backyard.


We are happy!!

Last month Hubby and i went to Italy for the first for the holidays and we had found a nice  (as it seemed) hotel in Toscany. Our destination was Montecani Terme, north of Toscany  and later on we would drive southern to Chiancachino. The nature there was beautiful as it was green and all was blooming




 But we had to acclimate to different way of living, like lousy breakfast in the hotel, the different kind of coffee and that in Italy a lot of things are a bit hidden. But the coffee is really good there and the food and gelato's are great!!





And we were lucky to have sunny weather!!


Ciao!!

The gardenning adventure is going on....

H. and I decided to let someone do the big job in the garden and we also changed our ideas about the style we wanted.

No, the veggie garden has not disappeared!! but the pond becomes a long term project.

That's how our backyard looks like after one day of labor:
