Work and Pleasure

Dear Family & Friends

The week had just gone by so fast specially as we find ourselves with lots to do. We finally tiled our window ledges. This serves as our sitting area when outside. The two girls were employed to do the job of sticking leftover broken tiles. With four window ledges to do, they did it with joy under two hours! Their father grouted it afterwards for the finishing touch.

Here goes...I think it looks nice. The father and daughters team works well in our household. I didn't get involved with this project but was busy transplanting seedlings that day.

Now, that makes  a nice sitting area

The potted purple Oxalis were grouped together to form a base for the pot of sweet pea which I hope to climb onto an existing post.

The sweet peas that were planted directly on the ground last autumn, withstood the cold winter, and it's now starting to bloom...Sweetpea is one of the most rewarding flowers to grow....they're are so fragrant that you just can't ignore them.

the fragrance of sweet peas are intoxicatingly good:)

Last autumn I also transplanted and move a vinca plant to an area where we passes by often. I then realized and noticed that this is pretty evergreen plant, under slight protection, actually produces beautiful purple/blue flower. I will propagate this plant to make further impact this year:)

All the time we make, we grow, and we discover different things in the garden. Life is simple and that's how we enjoy it:) Hope you have a lovely week too:)

Yours
