  8. Beautiful pictures Sonia, and the Litchis ! You have them in your garden ? If I had one here there would be no Litchi on the tree anymore ! I love them ! It looks so nice and blooming on your blog. So far I only saw cold weather and snow. I am so happy to escape this cold and awful weather, we are leaving for Egypt on thursday ! I don't like snow. I think I have been born on the wrong side of the world !
