My hubby just stopped work in May so I have an extra pair of hands to help me with the heavy flower pots that I have been meaning to give away. Was no problem actually coz my neighbours are all keen gardeners and was ever willing to relieve me of whatever potted plants that I got tired of. This is the advantage of living in a housing estate with friendly and helpful neighbours. In no time, the little patch of garden that I have, was cleared out and now I have so much more space to put a table and two chairs.
Few years ago I was very ambitious and had water gardens and decorated it with all kinds of garden ornaments but now that I am not that "kuat" anymore, I think water gardens are out of the zone coz it needs constant cleaning, moreover I also want the little bit more space for my hubby and I to have coffee out in the garden in the morning..........doesn't that sound fun? Wonder how many coffee mornings we will have before we give up on that.
We have pruned the cherry tree that gives us the shade but it got to be a little unruly and a little infested with fungus so we cut off most the infested branches and pruned back the leaves and now it looks neat and shapely. Two rather big pots of Anthuriums and a few money plants are all I kept and now the garden looks fresh and lively once more.
It always goes this way.......I enjoy the space after all the potted plants have been given away and agree the garden looks much better with less plants but before long I will be heading to garden centres and the buying starts again and very soon the garden gets overcrowded once more and all my neighbours will get to enjoy my generosity once again. lol ! What to do, this is a weakness I have !!! But in the meantime, I get to enjoy the space and will have coffee mornings in the garden. You are all welcomed so do come when my garden is still not overcrowded with newly aquired potted plants !!!!

Hmmmn..do I take it as an invitation when you said 'You are all welcomed to do so......blah blah blah. Ha, just joking only lah.You know Liz, even though we lived so near each other, and for so many years , all we did is waved at each other when I passed by . Moreover, your talented hubby and me, we knew each other in the 80's I should say.
Anyway, it is never too late to catch up on lost years, eh?
I do realised that life is short and we should be doing things we want to do and not what we didn't want to do and still we have to do it. Take as many coffee mornings as possible with dear hubby and continue to live life as you would want to live, your way.
Should I ever past by and smell coffee one of these mornings, I will definitely make a stop this time.heh..heh..
Hey new friend, you know you don't need an invitation to drop by for coffee. Just send a message and I will get the coffee ready and we can all still enjoy coffee out in my garden. Joe and I would love to have you over for morning coffee or afternoon tea.
