In Which the Divagation Store reaches the 900 posts Milestone! Reflection on Why...

Good morning, my friend, dear reader of this present post! How are you today, this new week? It should be the last one for February, quite soothing that it will end on a Sunday as well, given it started on a Sunday, too! As for me, I did sleep quite a bit yesterday, but I cannot complain of not being a productive day, given I finished reading the biography of Madame de Pompadour, written by Nancy Mitford. Quite a good one, and in fact, I would say is a great one! What a remarkable lady she was, the great patronesse of Rococo, though she sensed a move in France towards a more neoclassical direction, and overall set the sails on the direction of the style of the next era, the one called Louis XVI style, though in truth it was the queen Marie Antoinette who truly set the tone. I like this topic, and I love her majesty. Though the late rococo she preferred was hinted with an antique tint, it was not the more sober neoclassical of the 1790's and the Napoleonic era.

Picture of the week! In which we talk about my succulents!

Hello everyone! Happy Monday to you and good morning! How are you today and how are things going? I wish you the best and hope things are going fine, as usual! How is the weather where you are? Here things are still hot and moist/dry, I say like that because yet it doesn't rain, the air always carries water with it, making this place appeals like a sauna, which is quite lovely, isn't it? I don't love the heat, I miss the winter, though I love flowers and I love Springtime, how odd this world is, because on the north summer is giving place to fall season, where the leaves change color and fall on the floor, and the temperature keep on dropping, which is something to look with amazed eyes. Today I wanted to share with you guys a bit of my garden! So we'll have more than one picture of the week! How awesome is it! Let's jump to it shall we?


Here is one of my succulents! How big is it getting? I'm so proud of it! And I'm taking care of them better now, only giving water every once in a while. How is that taking better care of your plants, you might ask? It's cause those plants are from dry climate, so you shouldn't give them too much water, you should only give them water every once in a while, I was giving them much water before...


An example of how you should take care of your plants and in this case never give them too much water is the fact that where I have my new plants now, on this picture, I used to have a small cactus that died because I accidentally may have given him too much water, even when I thought the ammount of water was enough, well, you live and you learn...

This post is getting too big, so I'm gonna return to this topic on the next post day! I don't want to overcharge you guys with too many things, and I'm quite fond now of the smaller post format, well see you all next time, you are the very best!
