O vale do rio Loire é conhecido por seus belos castelos construídos entre os séculos XIV e XVIII a mando de diversos nobres em diferentes épocas, dos mais ambiciosos aos mais extravagantes.

chives (Allium schoenoprasum)I like to make experiments in my little herb and vegetable garden (orto).

From My Several Worlds, 6 month ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles
Chinese New Year festivities are at an end. The sound of incessant firecrackers going off at all hours of the night and day has died down. Paper lanterns were released into the air during the Lantern festival last weekend, and life is almost back to normal on Planet Taiwan. I know I’m a little late with this post, and I’m aware that everyone has already been hammered with articles about 2010 being the Year of the White Tiger. But I don’t really care. This post...
