A New Obsession (Updated with Answers)
When I was younger, I didn't think I'd become like my parents.
Anyway, things don't always turn out the way you want them and inevitably, I realize I have inherited many of their traits and interests.
My recently discovered common interest is gardening (I can picture LM smirking in the background)
Actually, I have been delegated the humble task of watering the garden, and I have been quite disciplined in doing it. An hour a day, actually.
Then I realized I actually liked seeing the plants grow and bear fruit. I find myself, wanting to learn more and more about them. Shucks! I better stop before I start sounding like a full fledged gardener. A few bushes and trees does not a gardener make.
OK, instead of gushing further, I'll just share with you some pictures of the plants I spray daily (HA HA HA, sounds like a dog). Actually I'm amazed at how some of them are growing now. My friend says if it's because I care about them now. I'm toying with the idea that if you take care of them, they take care of you. Do you know, I don't get bitten by mosquitoes even though at the 5pm to 7.30pm stretch? OK, I have yet to confirm the elusive identity of the mosquito repellent plant(s). Hmmm.. food for thought, eh.
Anyway, back to the photos. Just for kicks, I'll let you guess some their names.
