April Showers Bring May Flowers

My son told me this yesterday afternoon while driving back home. We both wondered when did the trees bacome so green again? I walk , i take public transportation, I look out the windows, and suddenly the city is green. Every year I feel like this is an overnight transformation.... The hear wave for the past 3 days is unusual, and this brought on my comment of the day: April Showers Bring May Flowers

Well in French I only know one such sentence for the month of April:

 

En Avril, ne te decouvres pas d'un fil!

Translation: In April Don't uncover yourselve of one thread.... in other words, beware of the cold!

This would make many of my friends laugh...since I over bundled my babies in fear of the cold...

 

That's it for now,

 

Cheers.

Sunday Mornings

Sunday mornings are made to watch cooking shows and wonder what will the coming week bring on! I'm a good cook, I enjoy creating simple healthy meals for my family. Some evenings, I just burn out, I will simply have a glass of wine, and we each fend for ourselves...and the kitchen is a huge mess! Getting back to my sunday cooking shows, I am trying out a quick pear tart with raw sugar and cinnamon... and my usual chicken milanesas (or fried chicken cutlets) .
Today I will give you more than 3 French Words, a  few short sentences;

I enjoy cooking: J'aime cuisiner!
I just burn out: Je suis a bout
I have a glass of wine: Je sirrote un verre de vin

That's it for now, until next.... month?

Cheers to my followers,  enjoy some good home cooking.

End of Summer

Yes it is the end of the summer, the days are shorter, but still quite hot and humid.
If anyone is still following me ... learning a just few words here and there... thank you!

I read a blog yesterday talking about The Certification of Graphic Designers...
The comments were very funny, and I think everyone agreed on the end results:
It really doesn't matter if you are certified because a bad design will unlikely kill anyone,
whereas a poorly built structure could very well fall on your head... and kill you.

So Graphic Designers, rebel and if your future employer asks for a degree... he/she should ask to
see your qualities, capabilities, knowledge, team work, flexibility, and if you show up at work!


My 3 French words for the day are:

Yesterday: HIER
Graphic Designer: GRAPHISTE
Show up at work: SE PRESENTER A SON TRAVAIL

Cheers, I'm off to work.
