The courtyard side of the Château de Blois includes this grand staircase. The sixteenth century building was constructed in the Italian-inspired renaissance style under King François I.

Today I'm planning a trip to a nearby market for tomato seedlings and a few other things. It's expected to rain some, so I'll have to make a decision about going as the morning progresses. I dug up the planting strip around the Real Fake Well yesterday. Its winter growth of weeds had to come out. I have some agapanthes (agapanthus) that I want to plant there this year. I've been holding them in the greenhouse since last fall.
That building never ceases to amaze me. I'm trying to decide what to do with my day after a mess of a start. I wish it would rain here. None in sight.
ReplyDeleteWell, now, I'll have to look up what agapanthes is :)
ReplyDeleteHi Judy, I think it is also called the lily of the Nile. It has usually a blue flower.
Deletemitch, looks like a rainy week for us, and next weekend was going to be when I plant the vegetable garden.
ReplyDeletejudy, you'll probably recognize it when you see it.
