Mystery Case #1
Last Tuesday, we went to visit meme in Saint-Trevier and did some awesome work. I got to be the right-hand of Daniel, Yoyp's dad, in planting a peach tree and shoveling some (lots of) gravel on meme's backyard. I like doing physical work, and it was yet another good excuse to visit meme.Since Fantastique and Bango were with us, I didn't get to see Ismi, meme's adopted cat, by the window. Il a un peur, she told me when I asked about Ismi's whereabouts. Murmur..murmur..murmur... les chiens... murmur. And as I understood, I won't be seeing Ismi because the dogs were here, thus, il a un peur decoded, Ismi is scared of the dogs. Mystery case #1 solved!
Mystery Case #2
The pretty lady that is our peach tree, dressed in white! The cloth is really for the bark's protection during our 45-minute drive. Despite all the odds, I'm happy to announce that my French speaking skills has gone from zero to barok level.
Pourquoi transferer l'arbre? I asked. Pas beaucoup d'espace parce que il y a la piscine? Me feeling especially lucky for the day and LOL-ing in my head.
Murmur... murmur... pa bien... murmur... de la terre... murmur... sable...murmur... piscine aussi... murmur... I did see Daniel's hand gestures while saying the words terre and sable (tila baga may sinasalat gesture in Filipino). So I figured the earth is sandy and not too ideal for the peach tree that's why it was uprooted in the garden in Montagnat. The swimming pool being secondary, I'm just not sure if the tree with its growing roots would affect the pool or the other way around, the pool would hamper the roots of the tree's growth. In any case, it should be that the earth in Saint-Trevier serves the peach tree's well-being. Whew! Mystery case #2 solved!
For a moment, imagine your two eyeballs turning 360 degrees in each of its socket, respectively. That's me when I'm in the middle of a French conversation, no miss (walang mintis).
After our morning coffee, I followed Daniel outside to plant the peach tree. I like writing it's a peach tree because I can easily imagine red peach fruits hanging by the tree's branches. I like peaches, they're soft, sweet, juicy, red outside and yellow in the inside. Below are the very simple steps in saving the world, i.e. replanting a peach tree!
1. Dig. 
Exhibit 1-A. Digging a portion of the earth. 
2. Fertilize. 
3. Mix.
4. Be supervised by a Jedi master. 
5. Put water and mix. 
7. Put soil and additional fertilizer. 
6. Put the tree inside the square hole. 
7. Completely cover with earth.
8. Water it! 
9. Protect from the wind . 
10. Tadaan!
Mystery Case #3
A day after, there was worry looming over Saint-Trevier because meme has not seen Ismi in two straight days. Just this evening, I'm happy to report that meme finally found Ismi. He got stuck when he followed meme to the garden nursery. Whew! Final mystery case of the week solved! 
The occasional passersby... 
The somewhat confused yet still pretty snow flowers.
