Home and Garden

How many kinds of insurances do you have at the moment? What kind of insurances do you think are useful for you and your whole family? How much are you paying for it? Do you think  paying  insurances  will benefit you if any losses  or risks  occur?

If you have to ask me how many kinds of insurances  we are  having right now,  I am honestly telling you,  quite a lot.  Just last week I went  to the bank and paid 3  bills  of insurances.

I believed many of you understand the importance of     buying certain  insurances. Depending on your needs and budget, you can avail of  any insurances which you think  are indispensable for your daily activities, your family,  for your properties and for your own safety  and security. (more…)

Party is over! The beautiful memories, the fun, the photographs are only the things that are left now. There is only one thing I can say, happenings and celebrations can only be remembered well if you take photographs from it. That was truly a lovely evening with so much fun and laughter mingling with hubby’s family and relatives.

It seems   that this post needs forever to finish.  I already started some words some hours ago but still, not many ideas are coming to my mind. I guessed,  the culprit was the party we had last night. I am still a bit tipsy but feeling very better right now.  So let me start again!

Winter is ond we are now having spring season. The past days, I have been  very busy doing  spring jobs. I did some garden clean-up but I am still not  done with everything. Besides, gardening is a daily work. I also started washing all the bedding and all the winter jackets,  clothing  and other winter accessories  I used last winter time.  I did  6  loads of laundry last Wednesday and I am still not done.

Not another trip again! Yes, the gardener is planning for another trip again. In fact, she already booked it this week. She wishes to visit the Holy Land of Israel but it is not possible this year due to some monetary reasons. She want to take a taxi to tel aviv when she will visit it in the future. Besides, visiting the  Holy Land needs some planning especially for a gardener like her. (more…)

This is one of the signs during spring season. I know it for sure because the weeds and grasses are getting taller now in our garden. The gardener was quite busy with her travels the past two months. She is happy to be home again. There are a lot of things to do at home and in our garden. I am glad that I will be nowhere this month but will be staying at home and do some chores both household and some tasks online.

As you can see in the picture above,  the grasses  want to reach the sky already.  (more…)

Last March of this year, we received an invitation from my sister-in-law inviting us to her 60th birthday celebration. The invitation says that we need to confirm in a certain date if we are attending or not. We forgot to confirm it so she called us last month asking if we are going to her party or not. Since we don’t have a certain plan this coming May 18, we decided to go to her birthday party.

There are no more daffodils in our garden. Their flowering time is over. I did not see that much in our garden because at the time they were blooming, I was always on tour. lolz!

I posted some  pictures of tulips in my facebook last month. One of my friends commented  if  some of the pictures  there are from daffodil flowers. I told him they are not but  they are tulips. Here are some daffodils  now for you.  Daffodils are different from tulips. Each flower has a central bell-, bowl-, or disc-shaped corona surrounded by a ring of six floral leaves called the perianth which is united into a tube at the forward edge of the 3-locular ovary. The three outer segments are sepals, and the three inner segments are petals.

Daffodils are also known as narcissus or jonquil. They are mostly spring-flowering, bulbous perennials in the Amaryllis family, subfamily Amaryllidoideae.

Some daffodils in our little Keukenhof in our garden. The other  ones are tulips. Sads to say, they are gone now.

Yes, it is spring time again! This is the time when spring flowers grow like tulips, daffodils and narcissus. The tulips in our garden are slowly dying now. Some are still blooming. Spring season is the time when I always hear the chirping and singing of the birds outside. The surroundings slowly turn to green again. Grasses grow and the trees are slowly bearing leaves.

Sometimes the weather change drastically during this season. Last Tuesday, we had quite a cold temperature of 3 degree Celsius (37.4 Fahrenheit). Yesterday, it was 22 degree Celsius (71.6 Fahrenheit). The good thing is, winter is over and the snow were totally gone now. This is one season of the year that I love most because the flowering plants start to bloom in our garden. (more…)

I already started to work in our garden the other week. We have a little Keukenhof at home. If you are familiar about Keukenhof, it is the known as the largest flower garden in the world. It is located near Lisse, Netherlands and famously known as the Garden of Europe.

I love this garden set but we already have one in our garden and much bigger than this one. (more…)

Since the weather is getting better the past days, I believed some of you are already grilling outside. That is why I say, spring time is the start of party time! Yesterday, some friends called me inviting to go to their homes  because they were grilling outside. That was a perfect timing because I cannot really cook what I want now because our kitchen was already dismantled. (more…)
