Gardening...



I love gardening. Every morning without fail I would be in my Little Garden in front of my patio. To fill the Bird/Squirrel Feeder with foods and feed the fish in the small pond. Then I would weed the pots and at time change the water in the fountain. Clean the whole garden and then water all the plants. It a ritual that I love to do and am enjoying it. At time I would spend hours there and sometime got lost of times  as well. It is so refreshing to see all the greens in a lush condition and the flower blooming well. It does made my day. 

Have a nice day folks.

Of Gardening...



I love gardening. In the morning or afternoon I would enjoy every minutes getting my hand dirty with the soil tending to my little plot of garden. It a passion of my from the time I learn to plant in primary school. It does bring me pleasure and kept my mental faculty healthy in my golden years. How I wished I have a bigger space to do gardening but circumstances is that I could not afford to buy a house with more space. Thus I am using the available space in front of my patio to create a small garden that I often referred to as my Little Garden and another where we planted vegetable, orchid and herbs at the backyard. In the little space available that I call my Little Garden I tried my best to create a landscape of various plants. With the greens and flowers small animals and birds start to make it their home too. To lure the squirrel I would put cut fruits on a container and placed it on the fence. It would come and go as it like and enjoy its meals and I get to watch it running around. Early morning I could hear birds chirping from branch to branch. At time beautiful butterfly would fly around looking for nectar from the flowers. At one corner of the Little Garden there is a small fish pond where one could hear the pattering of water from the small fountain. I feed the fish without failed every morning. It is interesting to see the fishes gather together waiting for it morning meals. After feeding the fish I would water the plant and at that moment in time all the plants would look fresh. The hours I spend tending to my Little Garden does made my day. 

Have a nice day.

Respecting the Plants...

We all need energy to survive on planet earth and that energy come from the Sun. The only specie that could convert the sun's energy into foods is the Plant. Without the plants all other species could not survived on this planet. And of course the oxygen that is vital to our survival. Our specie now takes all kind of meat other that vegetable to get the sun's energy. By taking meat mean that we get the energy from a second-hand source. Remember the animals first have to eat the plant in order to get the energy from sun. It is ridiculous for our specie to go to the third party to get our energy when we could easily get it from the second party; the plants. We can get all the nutrition we need to live a healthy life if we just consume vegetable. I am trying to do just that slowly, one step a time. Now we consume less meat. We now take mostly white meats and vegetable and hope in due course we could do away with meat all together. So folks do give due respect to the plant that give so much to enable all to live a beautiful life on this planet.

Have a nice day.

Refreshing Greens...


The year 2013 has been a great year for the family. I do hope it would be the same if not better for this year; Happy New Year to all. As usual when I felt like it I would go to the nearest park to jog or just to do photography, a hobby of mine. The Taman Tasik Ampang park nearby is a nice place to wander and wonder the beauty of nature. The scene at the park is never the same; at time there are many flowers that bloom from the trees top and at time one see many birds chirping from tree to tree. Anyway the greens in various shades of colours always refresh me. Sometime I would meet strangers, young couple with family and at time old folks who are just taking a jog to keep healthy. Quite so often these strangers became my friends.  Whatever it is the park is always a place to refreshes the mind and the body. Above is the scene of the park that I often go to while my time away. 

Have a nice day.
