My Rest Day Today-My Husband Pampered Me Today

I don't feel like gardening today, lol. My husband pampered me today by massaging my feet while laying in the recliner chair. I like taking naps after all the hard work in the backyard. He took care of the kitchen and made grilled ham and cheese sandwiches for our lunch. 

Making My Own Compost in My Own Way-Lyn Pence

Making my own compost is actually made from the grass that my husband mowed. After mowing the grass in our backyard, I raked them early in the morning and dumped it in my compost bins and in the garden boxes. Wait for a few days, the grass will subside. On the top of the mowed grass, I added my gardening soil which is mixed with peat moss, humus, regular soil, and sand.

Experimenting and Planting More Plants in Middle of July-Texas Gardening

My family and I purchased swan pots from a couple from Azle, Texas last week who were selling their house. I also asked if I can pull some of these bulb flower plants at their backyard and they said I can take any plants I want. Today, I planted some iris flower but I have no idea what color(I searched what bulb flower has very flat leaves). I have another bulb that I got from their backyard but I cannot identify it because it has no flower. 

Growing Beautiful Sunflowers-God of Wonders-Texas Gardening

I remember a few months ago, I planted these sunflowers directly to the ground. I like to play around what plants can be planted directly to the ground here in Springtown, Texas.

I measured this beauty and she is 8 inches wide not including the petals.

I Experienced Terrible Stomach Pain-God Have Mercy on Me

When it comes to health, I have some issues too. Even when we were still residing in Arizona, I tried to visit a doctor but they cannot pinpoint what is my problem. When doctors diagnosed me they say, "You are perfectly fine.", I am nervous. I am nervous because I knew something is wrong with me. 

Sometimes I Mock At Myself or I Pity Myself Because Gardening is Also Hardwork

There are many times I mock at myself because my very dream is to treat a patient in a nice dental clinic and it didn't happen. I have a profession in which if I go home right now in the Philippines, I can practice Dentistry. Sometimes I asked myself what am I doing here under the sun? I am sweaty and dirty. A nice clinic is way better than being bitten by

July 2020 Pence Family Pictures-Selfies

It is good to keep taking pictures of yourself and your family to remember good times. Taking a lot of pictures now will save you from regrets in the future. When wrinkles are finally settling in our faces(my husband and me) at least we will remember that once upon a time we were young. My Dad always says "Our strength will not stay forever. Our strength doesn't go up but goes down.".
