Yes, the spring air....

Beautiful weather! Home garden and farm are at their best. However, instead of enjoying I began to worry about the impending summer. Will there be enough water? What if borewell dries? Picked up Kusuma aunty and Doctor aunty from Gachibowli and drove down to farm. Snacked on onion samosas, had lunch, took nap, chatted, sipped milk 🥛 tea 🍵 walked to the vegetable 🍅 ( onions and pototoes with sprinklers on) looked lovely, everyone admired the scarecrow crafted by Nani,  captured gliricidia blooms and packed veggies, greenies, bettle and plaintain leaves to the brim. Helped them walk back, clicked few picks with desi-cows, ate poha and had 🍋 and 🍯 tea. This 14 th February was even more special as my son turned 18. Happy and scared too as 18 is legal for many things. Enjoyed capturing pictures of red flowers... anthurium, pointsettia, rose 🌹 bush, salvia ( from Shilparamam) besides the Butterscotch Alomond Icecream ...

Survival story of Lilac-coloured rocky creeper.....

  Two months ago, I got this creeper from a plant nursery near Swan Lake; I wasn't sure it will survive as it was drooping by the time I reached home ( after grocery shopping). Nevertheless I planted, watered and nurtured. Happy😀 to post the picture of this creeper with four beautiful Lilac flowers) that I clicked today morning. In my introduction I said I am keen to embrace a minimalistic lifestyle. But being a complex person ( inside out) is this POSSIBLE with me?😁
