Flower Garden

Once upon a time, I tried to have a flower garden. We had flower plants with blooms and orchids. The orchids were full grown ones given to me as gift by a mom of a student. Talk about free flower delivery

Alas, I did not have enough green thumb skills to keep these alive and thriving.

I found my green thumb though, when I discovered I can grow herbs and even “harvested” calamansi last year. This is much better, according to my husband

Jan8: Pink and Being 65

spent a tiring day with half of it on the road and most of it offline. This was a memorable day and even if the youngest child feels feverish, I am grateful that…

* we were able to spend more time with our dear family friends who have welcomed us in their hearts. We feel the same way with them too.

* the simple and innocent yet logical questions from the children can elicit a lot of laughter

* the trip going back home was tiring but arriving safe and sound is what really matters

* having a brother who, despite his busy sked and being away from his family, stayed in our home last night.

* my children enjoyed the time they spent together with their grandmother (my MIL) and their cousins

pink is sweet and yes, 65 seems to be the age where dancing in glittery heels and short dresses seem to be the norm

Stop and Smell the Flowers

Have you had a stop-and-smell-the-flowers moment lately?

There are times when we should take deep breaths and learn how to relax and keep the stresses at bay. (more…)

Message of Love

If you were to receive a bunch of flowers, what would you want written on it’s card?

Would you like a message of love?

A message asking for another chance?

A message of thanks?

A message that tells you you were an inspiration?

I’m sure the message, especially a positive one will warm our hearts and make the gesture of gifting of flowers even more special.

Overgrowth

Gate of the abandoned home in the Urban Decay entry. Doesn’t look bad in the daytime. Or maybe I am just used to seeing this.
