Also called citronella, the cymbopogon citratus is a grass -one of more than 55 kinds of grass-, a fragant one. Used for cooking -very common in Asian cuisine- and for ‘medical purposes’, but it is also a fine plant for the garden.

The day after Valentine’s Day. It was joy, it was love, it was fun.
As you can guess my doctor and I had a fine time, we had a whole evening to spend together -no calls from the hospital!!-, had dinner in a nice place, drank a bottle of wine -good one-, share the pleassure of being together. No fancy presents, just chocolates both ways… and a wonderful evening. Thank you my darling dear.
Plans and Projects… I have been considering changes in decor at home for ages, and finally I have started major changes in my studio. Old book shelves are going out, new ones are being organized, actually it is a do-it-yourself project, and I am enjoying it so much! At ease, taking my time, having fun even when the unexpected appears. Let’s say that my studio is showing all the similarities it has with life.
