What does this mean?

Something happened. I cannot explain it. It did not start good. So I let it go and move on. But yesterday, this matter came back. I was given a second chance due to technical error. It never happened before. So now I am all excited. Is this a good sign? I hope so ... I really hope so!

Goodbye Weekend

Another weekend gone. It was not that great. Weather wasn't that nice. Cloudy all day and drizzling here and there on Saturday. I didn't stay out on Saturday. On Sunday, we decided to work on the yard. It was still cloudy and misty once in a while, reminded me of a little town up in the hill back home. Got my vegetables planted. Our strawberries are coming along. I'm so excited. I have my tomatoes (heirloom, purple cherries and sweet honey bunch) and peppers (lady bell, stuffing, thai, sweet cherries and habanero). This year I decided to try watermelon. I've never planted one before. So we will see how it turns out. Then we cleaned up the front yard and I decided to plant my chrysanthemums. Fed them some fertilizer as well. I hope they will grow and bloom. I also cleaned up my three tier plant stand and planted some annuals. I decided to work on the front porch after I saw some grey clouds floating along and thunder rumbling. Boy, did I do the right thing because the rain came down all of a sudden. It was really nice working on the porch listening to the thunder and rain. But they were gone in no time. Then the sun decided to come out. Finally! Removed some of our dead evergreens and replaced them with blue star juniper and dwarf fire bush ... I hope they survive because the black locust roots seem to mess those little ones up quite a bit. Sunday turned out to be wonderful after all. To finish the day, the sound of the airplane from the airport nearby ... aahhhh ... sigh of contentment ... Good Night World. I love you ...

Happiness

I was looking for a picture of happiness when I found this blog. I am happy someone can put what I feel in words. I see happiness around me. They are normally small, but they are everywhere. They get bigger when you are among people/things that are special to you. It is great to be happy because it shows in everything you do. And when I am happy, I do that ... like the picture above!

Be happy!

I guess I am not the only one who ...

love lily of the valleys!

Flowers never bother me at all. I actually love them ... or used to.
Not anymore. The other day, I was watching this ad, it showed a butterfly emerging from its cocoon and then flowers blooming in a time-lapse manner... something about the sound of spring. I felt this fear in me ... Yup, you got it right. Allergies!!! I never had any problem with allergies until last year. That was my first year. I thought last year was bad, but it got worse this year. Zyrtec didn't help, neither is Clarithin, nor Allegra ... all I got was sniffling and feeling buzzed from all the medications. Early spring is when I go around doing things in a dazed-like condition. Hopefully by middle to end of May, this feeling will be gone and I get to enjoy the outdoor. Right now my garden box has a strawberry plant and little tomatoes. The strawberry was blooming but our unofficial pet bunny decided to harvest the flowers. So we had to put chicken wire around the box.

Oh oh ... I got to tell you this. So, on Saturday, we were talking about mocking bird with some friends. I have never seen one before. And I told myself that it would be nice to able to see one in real life. And just like that, on Sunday, we were in the back yard and here came a mocking bird! How did we know that? It was mimicking the other birds. So of course we started our own 'music' ... come on, you think we would sit quietly and do nothing? It was funny and but mocking bird didn't think so because it got tired of us and flew away ... Come back Mocking bird, we are not done with you yet! ... Must be my magic back yard ...
