Taking a break… before I break

Our newfound passion…. gardening!

Spring cleaning est fini!

Gardening is very therapeutic.   As soon as we get home from school, DH and I go straight to the garden to clean up: rake dried leaves, mow the lawn, water the plants, trim the hedges, clip the overhanging branches… etc.  Something we probably would have never done in Manila.

It’s a lot of work, but we don’t mind at all.  We’re actually surprised that we enjoy doing it.   Thanks to Mama for taking care of dinner.  Skipping this task allowed me to spend an hour or two in the garden.

Seeing your garden in bloom gives a sense of fulfillment.
The boys love their playground.
I found this straw hat in the local department store.  I use this as my garden hat.
