Yeah! This is the one article that I was supposed to finish years ago!

Ongoing projects

Pull up the weeds around the rose beds.

Cut/removed the dead stems, flowers and leaves from the birds-of-paradise.

Trim the Peach, Lemon, Tangerine, Apple and Loquat tree. But unfortunately the apple tree died  more a year ago.

Take care of the plants of Tomato, Dragonfruit, Bell pepper, Succulents, Lily, potato, sweet potato and such.

How much you can learn from tending your garden.
Years ago, I never can get that how those seniors would enjoy gardening?
Don't they have something more important to do, like, working. Now I am doing and enjoying it myself. Somehow, it heals my broken and tiring heart.

Weeds roots deep and a lot of time they grow around and even looks alike the vegetables that you are growing. Also, it makes harder to pull them up without hurting the vegetables.

Sometimes the tomato plant looks like dying at the base but still growing farther, flowering even fruiting.

Garden weeds can always grow from the tough conditions, like grow from the cement cracks and it also makes it harder to get rid of them,

They can be annoying for the gardens, yet it provides lessons that we can learn from.

A life story to share. 

Lentil Sprouts

A lifeless seed, yet it’s alive. It can be sprouted, can even be planted to bear tens, hundreds, even thousands of fruits.

Diamonds

Coal/graphite is opaque and soft while diamonds are transparent and hard though they are made of the same and only one element, carbon.

“When the pressure is about 50,000 times the pressure at the surface of the Earth and the temperature is about 1600°C, the carbon atoms bond with 4 other atoms and result in diamonds.”

“The Birth of a PearlOysters make pearls in response to an irritant, such as a grain of sand or another object. When any irritant makes its way between the mollusk's shell and mantle, the creature produces nacre, a protective coating that helps reduce irritation.” 

Butterfly

Butterflies develop from their larvae, which are called caterpillars.

It’s not a shame when you fail or fall. Stand up and learn the lesson you become stronger.

The ugly duckling turns into a swan

Don't Hesitate to Ask for Help

You may give someone the chance to learn how to lend a helping hand to others.

Or you may mend a broken hearted, to whom is helping you and knowing that he or she is still worthy to be appreciated and can do something good to others.

Tears

Sadly, sometimes I rather that we never met or know each other. Then there will be no tears to shade or heart to be broken when we have to say farewell to each other especially when it’s the end of one of them left the earth.

Life is like a story book, turn the page there always be another new chapter waiting for you.
