Nature tripping

Testing my new trowel

I love plants

Must have been the influence of my green-thumbed mom

She can make dying plants come back to "greenhood" once again

Since I have a roofdeck and a pocket garden

I bought several potted plants for me to take care of

Our gardener comes only once a month to check on the status of the plants

Otherwise, I just need to water them everyday

The gardener taught me that I need to loosen up the soil once in a while

He also gave me a poison when I start seeing insects /white spots on the plants

So, yesterday, while at True Value

I saw their choices for a novice gardener like me

Got my 1st gardening tool, the trowel

And of course was excited to use it right away

I hope as time passes, gardening will be second nature to me

As it is for my Mom

Happy Tuesday!

My garden of delight

my beautiful plants

my bamboo plants

I've always loved plants

Probably got it from my Mom

She's the one with the green thumb

Am not exaggerating, she can make a dead plant come back to life

If you know what I mean

Despite a lot of other stuff that we need to prioritize with our new home

I can't wait to start my garden

just have a few right now but I already know how am going to design it

It's just different how you wake up to blue skies and all that greens

Uplifts your spirit right away

Here are my babies

I take more than a 100 steps up and down to water them

Yea, my secret to staying thin

But no biggie

Cause I love seeing them thrive

There's my own secret garden.

Go green!

With our houseguests asleep til noon

Went to do errands for the house , grocery then meeting at the construction site

You'll be amazed how you spend hours on meetings everyday

and that's not even enough, there are gazillion texts on decisions and updates

There's no time to just be quiet

You can but then there are people waiting for your decisions

Sometimes I just want to have silence

But then again, you appease yourself with knowing you're working for a goal

My thrill for today

No matter how shallow

was getting a laser pointer from my contractor

I love that I don't need to talk to my foreman and say so many times

there, that wall, there, no that one

Now I can just point and we both understand exactly what I'm talking about

Now if only he can get me a robot to answer all the texts from suppliers

and stores

That would be the day!
