Supposedly the temperature today is 15 degrees C. It is but it's not really that cold. I don't know why. It's kind of weird right? So I have my little fan on rotating in front of my desk or else I'll get suntan again from the heat coming from my computer. Then another big fan rotating too around the room. I don't want my computer notebook nor my daughter's notebook get toasted.
It's warm here in our new home it must be that the insulation inside the walls around the house is thick and the right material for protecting the interior and exterior of the walls. Great for autumn and winter season. Outside is just mild temperature, wet because of monsoon drizzles!
We didn't have a big garden this year unlike the previous years when we gathered so much veggies from the garden at the backyard. I missed fresh zucchinis and fresh kales, string beans and the dragon tongue beans. So many vegetables that my husband planted last year such as: beets, cabbage, lettuce, potatoes, corn, zucchini, kales, cucumber, chilis, beans, peas, etc. There's so much bugs this year such as hornets, yellow jackets and wasp. It's terrible! How many times they chased us. When they bite they surely are suckers! Peste! I don't know if one of them is a tse - tse fly.They don't know what hard work really is.
At least when he's not pre-occupied from work and from gardening my husband can go fishing. Yeah next year let see the vegetable garden then will be back to normal gardening.
Well, I have my group of herbs growing at the backyard that's good enough and two tomato plants that bear fruits nicely and abundantly. Few more days and I can fry green tomatoes.
While me, I used of my leisure time wisely. Remember I'm still the house keeper and the chef of this house. My sewing project has ended and it's time to stop because not only it's time consuming but it's hard on our budget. Textile is expensive here in Canada, unlike in Philippines when textiles are one of the cheapest commodity. Besides, truth is it's better to buy a new dress or outfit from Walmart. Yung mga damit pangbahay. For party dress? Seldom there's a party here and the party need not to be fashionable like as if you are attending the Academy Awards. Yeah far from that nonsense. Ha! It's not nonsense for those awardees and celebrities I know... it's their most spectacular party ever. We don't have it here. Our drama is our own and there's no script. We owned it.
Our floral garden still blooms with colorful array of dahlias and roses. I was thinking of having crimson red and golden colored chrysanthemums but wait till September or October. I forgot to bring the chrysanthemums or mums from the other house that we stayed for few years before. Good for the new occupants they will surely like the huge size of the chrysanthemums there on the front yard. Its diameter is bigger than the size of a big tire. What a comparison eh. He he he he! It's round and circular and it's like the huge beach ball and when that plant blooms in October there are about a thousand flowers in it and probably even more because it does continue to bloom after Thanksgiving Day.
Morning has broken in the East. A white morning glory is simply amazing. White not blue bell-shape flowers. I had the blue bell shaped morning glory before but husband doesn't like it. This plant has its trellis at the back yard's fence and when he saw it growing at the front he cut it off. Okay. Next time I will plant a morning glory called kangkong and the bell-shaped flower is purple. Maybe it would make a difference because you can eat kangkong ha. I know it would be irresistible!
