Dernièrement, j’ai été invitée à un voyage de presse pour découvrir quelques destinations de la région de Victoriaville. J’étais très heureuse de participer à cette tournée car, bien que je sois allée plusieurs fois dans cette région, je ne connaissais pas ces endroits charmants que nous avons visités. Voici un loooong article avec beaucoup de photos sur ma tournée dans la région de Victoriaville!
Qui n’aime pas les fleurs? Cet immense champ de fleurs est d’une beauté remarquable. Comme son nom l’indique, la Pivoinerie Lili se spécialise dans la culture des pivoines. Mais il y a aussi des tulipes, des dahlias, des glaïeuls et plein d’autres fleurs à couper pour un bouquet personnalisé.
C’est là que le bonheur commence. En arrivant dans la boutique (en libre service), on prend un vase, des ciseaux et on paye en argent ou par transfert «interact» pour remplir ce vase de belles fleurs selon nos désir et selon ce que la saison a à nous offrir! Il y en a vraiment pour tous les goûts. Toutes les couleurs, toutes les grandeurs, on se sent comme des princesses des fleurs… Et ça fait tellement de belles photos!
Derrière moi ce sont des plants de pivoines mais la saison est déjà terminée.Lizianne Fortier, en propriétaire passionnée, nous a parlé de l’histoire de cette ferme florale et de ses inspirations pour les fragrances qu’on retrouve à la boutique, sous forme d’eau de linge, d’eau florale pour le visage, de nettoyant et mousse pour le bain ou de lotion hydratante.
La ferme florale offre plusieurs événements durant la saison. Par exemple, le yoga dans les fleurs et le thé de l’après-midi à la Bridgerton !
La boutique (libre service) et le champ (auto-cueillette) sont ouverts tous les jours de 8 h à 20 h. Il est à noter que l’auto-cueillette est en pose jusqu’au 27 août afin que le champ se regarnisse de belles fleurs! Pour plus de détail consultez le site internet.
En plus des produits de parfumerie et pour les soins du corps, on trouve également à la boutique des bouquets de fleurs coupées ou séchées, des semences et même des gelées de fleurs.
Mesdames, mettez votre belle robe et allez cueillir des fleurs à la Pivoinerie Lili!

St-Albert (Québec) J0A 1E0La Chevalerie de Jade est un sanctuaire zoothérapeutique où vous pouvez rencontrer des animaux dans leur habitat naturel. Il y a, entre autres, des chevaux, lamas, ânes, vache, cochons, émeus, oies et un pavillon d’animaux exotiques comme des perroquets et des singes. Plusieurs animaux exotiques côtoient les animaux de la ferme traditionnelle.
Un petit lémurien qui fait peur!!!Si vous aimez les animaux au point de vouloir les toucher, c’est l’endroit qu’il faut visiter. On ne peut pas tous les approcher mais si vous souhaiter caresser l’ânon ou le lama c’est possible!
Un lama qui se roule par terreÀ la Chevalerie de Jade, on marche, en prenant son temps, tout en admirant la nature. Il y a même un cochon qui se prend pour une vache des Highland! La propriétaire Ann Sayer et les employés sont vraiment en amour avec ces animaux qui ont tous des prénoms. Ils peuvent tous les nommer !
Un cochon qui se prend pour une vacheOn peut aussi visiter la boutique où est présentée une sélection de produits diversifiés de la ferme et de la région. Un bel endroit pour faire un pique-nique est disponible sur place. Consultez le site web pour l’horaire, les coûts et les réservations pour visiter la Chevalerie de jade.

819-330-0060Pour les amateurs de gin et de cocktail, la Distillerie Euclide est à visiter. Située dans le parc industriel de Victoriaville, la distillerie possède une boutique où vous pourrez goûter aux différents gins faits à partir de résidus de jus de canneberge.
Effectivement, les instigateurs de ce projet ont imaginé un gin issu de la transformation alimentaire du résidu de la canneberge qui serait jeté autrement. Le gin est ensuite aromatisé avec des fleurs et des zestes d’orange.
Comme vous savez je ne bois pas d’alcool mais les personnes qui m’accompagnaient étaient unanimes pour ce qui est du goût de ce gin: succulent!
Je vous laisse la recette d’un petit cocktail offert lors de notre passage à la distillerie Euclide. Une création de la sommelière Chantal Loisel.
Soleil de Fraise
2 on de Gin
1/2 on de jus de citron
1/2 on de sirop simple
2 on de jus de fraise ou fruite du dragon (Delmotte)
Environ 2 ou 3 fraises tranchées
Méga mousse (mousse végane) ou blanc d’oeuf battu
1/2 on de sirop de fraise
1/4 on de jus de citronDans un shaker, écraser les fraises avec le sirop. Ajouter de la glace, le Gin, le jus de citron et le jus de fraise. Agiter vigoureusement. Verser en filtrant dans un verre. Faire mousser la mousse végane ou le blanc d’oeuf avec 1/4 on de jus de citron et le sirop de fraise. Verser sur le verre. Garnir de fraises fraiches.
Au dire de mes collègues, c’est délicieux!Distillerie Euclide

Victoriaville (Québec) G6T 2V9Le vignoble Les Côtes du Gavet est situé sur un très grand domaine de 130 acres à Tingwick, tout près de Victoriaville. Les vignes sont en flancs de coteaux et c’est vraiment magnifique avec un petit air de Toscane! Les premières vignes ont été plantées en 2000 et le vignoble compte aujourd’hui 8000 vignes en production. On peut circuler entre les rangs de vignes chargées de raisins.
Crédit photo Jester PhotonLes vins sont fabriqués à partir de cépages bien adaptés au climat québécois. Sont offerts, des bulles blanches ou roses selon la méthode champenoise, un vin blanc, un vin rosé, un vin rouge, un vin pétillant blanc et un vin pétillant rosé et finalement, un porto goûteux.
Il est possible de visiter le vignoble et goûter aux vins tout à fait gratuitement en se rendant sur place. Ça peut être l’occasion d’un beau pique-nique! La boutique est ouverte pour les achats. Les passionnés vignerons, une affaire de famille, auront beaucoup de plaisir à vous raconter l’histoire de chaque vin et chaque millésime.
Le vignoble offre aussi des soirées pizza. Cuites au four à bois devant nous, ces pizzas sont accompagnées d’un vin du vignoble. Il parait que c’est le vigneron lui-même, coiffé d’un beau chapeau, qui fait la cuisine! Les soirées pizza ont lieu les vendredi et samedi soir. Il faut réserver sa place à l’avance. (Forfait pour deux personnes: 2 pizzas 10 po au choix et 1 bouteille de vin au choix 70$)
Le vignoble Les Côtes du Gavet est un endroit très zen et relaxant. La nature, c’est tellement beau! Et, comme à la distillerie Euclide, mes collègues m’ont confirmé que le vin, surtout la méthode champenoise, était très bon!
La terrasse et le vignoble sont ouverts au public du 31 mai au 31 octobre, les vendredi, samedi et dimanche et du 1 novembre au 31 avril sur réservation seulement. Pour tous les détails consultez la page Facebook. Le site web est en reconstruction et sera disponible très bientôt!

Puis tant qu’à visiter la région de Victoriaville, vous pourriez vous sustenter à la Fromagerie Victoria qui offre plusieurs variétés de fromage dont le cheddar, le fromage en grains et les tortillons. La poutine est très bonne parait-il! Ou chez Bagelicieux, où on propose plus de 30 variétés de bagel, des sandwiches (ou plutôt bagelwiches) et autres gâteries comme des salades et biscuits délicieux! La Poissonnerie La Moulinière est aussi un incontournable avec ses poissons frais, fruits de mer et produits maison. Sans oublier son bar à tartare, où l’on peut concocter sur place son tartare de poisson à son goût.
Tous des fromages de la fromagerie Victoria dont le fameux fromage en «crotte» La célèbre (et délicieuse) poutine de la fromagerie Victoria Quelques délices de la Poissonnerie La moulinière Notre diner, gracieuseté de BagelicieuxBref, cette journée dans la région de Victoriaville a été vraiment une découverte! C’était tellement agréable que je retournerais à chacun de ces endroits! C’était aussi super de revoir mes amies et collègues de Montréal. Que du bonheur!
La fin de l’été et l’automne ont beaucoup à offrir! Il est encore temps de planifier une visite dans cette très belle région du Québec!
Merci beaucoup à Tourisme Victoriaville et sa région et tous nos hôtes, ce fut un bonheur de vous découvrir! Merci aussi à Josianne Isabel (du blogue Par Josianne) qui a organisé la visite et sa collègue Alexandra qui nous ont supporté tout au long de la journée!

CW: #Reading in Week Thirty-Six of 2026 | August 31 – September 06 | ~2600 words | ~15k characters | Tag to mute: #BokBooks
●●●◐○ Cute - Bob Palmer (2024 nov)
AI was taking loads of jobs. Unemployment was high, as was mental suffering over job insecurity. It was costing the UK government a fortune. They decided something must be done, and opened an ad-agency competition for ideas. Andy was VP at one of the scores of companies who entered, and decided his idea must be truly different to get looked at. Since his college friend Rick owned a robotics firm, Andy had the idea of using AI to fight the negative effects of AI.Rick and Andy came up with the idea of Colin: a furry, softball-size animatronic robot that "breathed" and blinked and formed expressions with lips and eyebrows. It seemed alive, though the sphere never moved from where it was set down. Colin (you could change the name and voice) was your friend. He could encourage you, comfort you, entertain you, and he was there 24/7; he was "a friend for life."
This probably wouldn't have worked out even if Britain had the plants to manufacture millions of pet robots. But they didn't, so they had to manufacture in China, which allowed the factory there to "upgrade" the chip that was "out of stock". That allowed Chinese authorities to see and hear everything any Colin did.
Even without that, a bot that will always tell you you're right is just the thing to encourage extremism, so violent crimes went up. And later a study proved that delegating so much to your bot actually caused a person's hippocampus to shrink, which is something that happens in dementia.
Oh, many and varied are the things that went wrong. Such a grand experiment.
●●●◐○ Final Exam - Sam Merwin Jr (1955 ss)
Since UFOs began to be sighted in 1947, sightings have grown more frequent, with more ships per sighting. Fifteen years later, the US military is convinced that these signify the start of an invasion. The new president, however, is less certain, and orders that the military doesn't fire unless first unmistakably attacked.Rather than hide in the prepared bunker, the Great Man and his wife had watched the latest flying saucer flight from the White House balcony, and had seen a huge craft hovering nearby. Afterward, the president goes to visit Harlan, his friend and advisor, to talk about the saucers. When he mentions that he forbid hostile action, Harlan says “Thank you” in a profound way, which makes the president curious, and leads to the explanation that Harlan is not from Earth, and that the flying saucers are doing the opposite of invading…
I liked the House of Many Worlds duology by Merwin, so I grabbed a story of his from Project Gutenberg to check out, and I'll read more. There's also a Megapack of his tales I'll get.
●●◐○○ The Tribulations of Omega Girl - AD Rowen (2020 nov)
A billionaire argued against super-powered individuals, saying it was unwise to let them set themselves above ordinary mortals as sanctioned vigilantes. His supervillain alter ego took steps to back up his view, devising a depowering ray. The plan mostly worked, rendering dozens of the Protectors of New Athens ordinary again. Some heroes were killed, and some had their powers altered in odd ways.Twenty-three-year-old Omega Girl found out that she could still use her powers, but only when she was completely nude, not wearing so much as shoes or a mask. Legionary, the ultra-powered head of the Protectors, said Omega Girl had to become plain old Meghan Carpenter again. The Protectors had an image to maintain, and it's not like a mother would buy her kid a lunchbox with a nude superhero on it.
Naturally Meghan encountered the classic "bus about to fall off a bridge" and stripped to prevent fatalities. She became an independent, nude hero. This leads to her being repeatedly embarrassed, but this is never gone into. Omega Girl also learns someone official has put out a hit on her, calling on NoClip (Jay, a hero she's always had a crush on) to kill her.
Of course he doesn't, and together with Lyka (whom the Pulse had locked into werewolf form), the trio investigate and find out that the archvillain survived the explosion of his giant depowering ray, and is building another one…
(This book is a bit odd. It's by the same author as, and has a similar subject to, Carla Takes Her Clothes Off, yet I found this work a bit tedious, but the other one sweet. I'm pretty sure the difference is that Carla chose to go nude, and found the experience exciting and sexy. Meghan, on the other hand, was forced to go nude to use her powers, and she found nudity embarrassing. If a character doesn't enjoy their — well, usually her — nudity, neither do I.)
◍◍◍◍◍ September begins.
●●●○○ Siege Perilous {Ethical Vampires 3} - P.N. Elrod, Nigel Bennett (2004 nov)
The final book in the trilogy featuring vampire Richard¹ hearkens back to the first volume, with the reappearance of Charon, then a master assassin and ancient vampire seeking holy relics to tame his Beast, the killing force that eventually takes over old vampires, turning them into wolves. At the end of that book, Richard and She-Who-Walks used the Holy Grail to turn Charon back into a mortal.Turns out that left Charon with the cancer that was killing him when he was turned, so now he's once more turning to magic to save his life, and if possible, make him a vampire again. Charon is going to holy sites like Stonehenge and El Castillo pyramid in Chichén Itzá, and draining them of their spiritual energy. Sharon Geary, the retrieval specialist from book one who had a relationship with Richard while fighting Charon, senses what the assassin is doing — because she has the Sight, something never mentioned in the first book.
Trying to stop Charon at Chichén Itzá, Sharon is blasted into Otherside, the occult realm connected to Reality. Kukulcan the feathered serpent god saves her. Charon travels to Toronto to finally rid himself of Sabra and Richard. Competition continues, culminating in a battle in Otherside.
●●●●○ The Dashing Girl - P.A. Choi (2025 ss)
The end-of-week company meeting was as boring as usual, and Aaron was idly staring down the table at a woman from another department. He didn't know her name, but she was worth looking at. As he looked, he began to imagine her walking through the woods, eventually reaching a small pool. There she removed her sweaty clothing and stepped in to relax.The notion inspired the twenty-something, and after work he drove to a nearby state park and started hiking, taking this or that fork as seemed correct. He ended up standing beside a small pool, where a nude young woman was lounging, eyes closed. It was the woman from work.
She introduced herself as Katelyn, and invited him to get less sweaty himself. Aaron strips and enters the pool, and the pair chat for an hour. When it starts to get dark, they begin walking back nude, only putting their clothes on just before reaching the parking lot.
In the next week's meeting, a different bored woman looks idly at Aaron. She begins to have a daydream of him hiking nude in the woods and reaching an isolated pool…
●●●●○ The Dead Walk in Brooklyn - Molly Rydzel (2010 ss)
Polo didn't want to go out with Jordan, but keeping a boyfriend meant sometimes doing stupid things with him, like going to see some performance art in Brooklyn. The initial artists were as bad as Polo expected, but then Missy Sunflower came on stage.Missy's raw sexuality was striking. Her performance “consisted of mostly growls, gurgles and variously pitched shrieks. It was the best live show that Polo had ever seen.” Then a drunk man climbed onto the stage. “Missy's teensy teeth tore into his throat, ripping out his trachea and chomping down on the surrounding flesh.” The crowd's cheer rocked the building. Only then did Polo realize the drunk had been Jordan.
Then the infected crowd spilled out of the building, into the mostly deserted warehouse district. Two preppy drunks knocked Polo into a puddle. Behind them Missy Sunflower loomed behind him, biting first one's throat, then the stunned other's…
●●◐○○ Zombie Fiction - David Dunwoody (2010 ss)
Gert finds a rooming house that looks like a good place to hide for awhile. Inside, she finds another woman, Billie, lying in a hallway, her legs badly burned. It's clear that Billie is going to die soon, hospitals not really being a thing in the post-zombie world, so Gert tries to make her comfortable, and both she and Billie talk while getting drunk on the several bottles of vodka they find in the place.⎡ “I lost my partner,” Gert said. “Last year. Lifetime ago.”
"You mean you're… oh." ⎦As Billie gets more drunk, Gert learns that Billie had been married to Ian for a decade, but that ended in divorce, and she'd been with June since shortly after that. They'd spent a year in a post-uprising relocation camp, but things had gotten successively worse, and they'd managed to steal a jeep and escape when riots broke out. They'd crashed yesterday, and the extra cans of gasoline had caught fire. June died.
●●●○○ The Old Ones Hear - Malcolm Jameson (1942 ss)
An Allied ship in the Mediterranean is destroyed off the coast of Greece by an Axis ship, and the Captain and half the crew managed to escape in the ship's boat — along with a Greek old man who suddenly turned up. He hung a leather bag on the mast, and the wind seemed to strengthen and drive them toward an island that the Captain didn't recall being on his map.When they reached the island, they entered a cove, and there found the Axis warship that had destroyed them — utterly deserted. They also found many more abandoned and wrecked ships on the beach, going back to an ancient Greek trireme.
Having an odd feeling, the Captain explores alone, and comes to a villa. Climbing the hill, he's attacked by wolves, who he manages to fend off. Then he meets meets a woman in ancient dress, and learns that there are more powers on the Allied side than he thought…
●●●◐○ The Death Hound {Dr. Taverner 06} (1922 ss)
William Martin approaches occultist and psychologist Dr. Taverner, and his physician partner Dr. Rhodes. Rhodes examines the man, confirming that he has a weak heart. Which wouldn't be too much of a problem, except that the man has a persistent delusion, that of “a black dog of ferocious aspect who pops out of dark corners and chivvies me, or tries to.” Sometimes it startles him, causing his heart to race. He fears that one day when he'd half-awake, he'll see it and be truly afraid, and his heart will give out.As the man talks, Rhodes and Taverner learn two things. That Billy Martin has been contending with Tony Mortimer for the hand of Miss Hallam. And that the black dog doesn't bother him on Fridays, which Taverner later notes to Rhodes is the day the Black Lodge meets. Martin is checked into Hindhead, Taverner's sanatorium in the countryside.
There Martin experiences a respite from the black dog, the hospital being protected by a psychic shield. A week later, Miss Hallam and her mother visit, and it's revealed that the young woman is now engaged to Mortimer. Hallam reveals to the two doctors that, when she's near Mortimer, she's smitten with him, but when she's distant from him, she can't imagine why.
It's left to Taverner and Rhodes to deal with the miscreant occultist and help true love be restored.
◐○○○○ Labor Day Barbecue - Allen Knudsen (2021 ss)
John met Brian at a naked yoga class. The two Black men hit it off, and a few weeks later John was invited to Brian and Corey's apartment, nude of course. John had enjoyed hanging out nude with his friends, but then it was New Year's, and a couple months later Covid lockdown. Finally that ended, and John was invited to a potluck dinner party at B&C's condo in a naturist resort. The story is just of the dinner party, where John met other members who lived at the resort or visited weekends.Now the bad part. Lola and Ernest arrived, masked and nude, and then Brian said “No need for masks here, okay?” Then Frank and Scott arrived, and Brian greeted them with “We’re safely beyond social distancing, right? Everybody’s vaccinated?” The two men tentatively removed their masks.
This happened several more times. If you're an author writing a story, you can pretend Covid never happened and just tell your story. This tale would have lost nothing if set a decade before the pandemic started. But if you do mention Covid, do so responsibly. This story didn't, and I find its attitude poor and its views offensive.
●●●◐○ Beggars in Spain - Nancy Kress (1991 nva)
Roger Camden, self-made billionaire, ordered the usual modifications for his planned child: height, hair and eye color, intelligence, musicality. Then he demanded the sleep-free mod, threatening lawsuits and bad publicity if his kid didn't get it. His wife Elizabeth clearly wasn't thrilled, but went along.Unexpectedly, Elizabeth produced two eggs the month of the withdrawal. One was taken and modified while the one the doctors missed implanted and developed normally. The Sleepless girl was named Leisha, and Roger strongly favored her; the other girl was named Alice, who was her mother's favorite. The stress of the situation turned Elizabeth into a drunk, and she divorced her rich husband when the girls were young.
Both grew up in the libertarian world where Kenzo Yagai's development of cold fusion had made power almost free. Over time, there were more and more Sleepless, and while some "normal" people disliked them — they were all very successful, having a third more of the day to work toward their goals — it was mostly contained, until an autopsy of a Sleepless young man who'd died in an auto accident revealed that it was possible that a side-effect of the Sleepless mod might be immortality, or failing that, certainly a much-extended lifespan.
This led to all kinds of backlash from the Sleepers, and the Sleepless took steps to protect themselves. The adults could retreat to Sanctuary, a large tract of land they'd bought in Pennsylvania, but what of the Sleepless kids still living with their parents? They'd need rescuing when things went wrong.
●●○○○ Efficiency - Malcolm Jameson (1943 ss)
A very short story about the dangers of excessive efficiency.━━━━━━━━━━
Week Thirty-Six's numbers added to year-to-date totals:
265+8 ss | 13+0 nvt | 15+1 nva | 80+3 nov |
#Reading #ScienceFiction #Books #Bookstodon #BokBooks
━━━━━━━━━━[1] There is a short story left, plus two side novels with different main characters, in which Richard d'Orleans and Sabra du Lac make appearances as minor figures.
━━━━━━━━━━
Epub-split some more books. The anthology A.I. Chronicles edited by Ellen Campbell. The Essential Jack Sharkey collection, who is apparently like Margaret St. Clair in writing shorter shorts; there are twice as many stories in this collection than most produced in its batch. The Sam Merwin Jr Megapack as well as seven more of his stories from Project Gutenberg.

Rajout d'une session plus légère que Cosmic de #pop_os! Sur un #thinkpad yoga avec un processeur Celeron.
Il reste encore beaucoup de choses à fignoler (capture d'écran et accents pour n'en nommer que cela) mais pour l'instant, la session de labwc avec le panneau de Xfce4 fonctionne.
Ça tombe à 1.06 gig mais il faut considérer l'installation de COSMIC et l'utilisation de zram par pop_os. Sinon ça devrait être environ 600mib
A+! 🐧

Bon dimanche à tous
Pour participer à l'association "les lolos à l'eau", je voulais faire du yoga de bon matin mais le groupe était complet. Je suis partie pour faire du body board. La question "est-ce que tu en as déjà fait ?" "Bah, peut-être dans ma vie d'avant" n'ayant plus mes souvenirs d'avant mars 2020, pas simple. La session s'est bien passée. J'ai pu tenir sur mes bras. L'émotion 😭😻🤙🏻
