Got our landscaping done this weekend. I loved the whole process of designing it and get it Done. We have been wanting to do it since we got the house and I think it looks amazing. People have been stopping to find out more about it.
Now is the time to worry.. WOrry abt my plants. You see, I don't have green thumb at all. Have killed lot of house plants. I love them so much that I over watered few. After that I learnt that it should be watered as instructed., so I did., still they died.. May be too much sunlight.! Donno. Once a freind gave me a big house plant,.. beautiful one. With my history I became too much into it. Tried to water as it was written on it. I kept moving it to make sure it gets enough sunlight. Then started to see that the plant leaves had started to wilt a little. So decided too much sunlight and moved it.. Kept moving it for almost a month, bought some plant feeders and added to that and watered.. Nothing, ... had to give up after a month of hardworking and it died, completely.! No revival possible.!
Then I read somewhere that the house plants likes to adapt to a place and you shouldn't move it too much.. You give them SHOCk.!!! Whew, I gave the poor plant SHOCK.! Anyways, pray for me.. Rather, pray for all my outdoor plants now.! Hopefully they all survive and I could too .. one day be proud that I could grow something.!
But one thing has been killing me. I used rubber mulch.!!! OOppss., am now so on guilt trip,... that am doing something bad for the eco-system.!! ahem, .. I wish that feeling would go away.,. Am trying to read all the articles to see if they r bad. Ofcourse the companies who sell them say they are the best. Well,.. I did buy them coz it said low- maintenance.. Don't ahve to do it every year like the regular mulch.. and they don't coz mold to grow below like the other one does..Hearing all those, we just decided to go with that mulch.. coz hey lets face it.. We didn't wanted to do the mulch every year.! Do it once and forget it for quite a few years sounded really really good.!!! And boy it looks good too.
Well.... I guess I have been ranting too much. Just have to go with the flow sometimes. Wish me luck,. will try to paint my thumb green and get to some digging, planting and pruning... (U could tell ha, I have been learning all these new words in Gardening.. ;o)..). Until next time...

Blind Faith??
I kinda consider myself non-orthodox. But sometimes I wonder am I? It's hard to get stuff out of ur blood I guess. Today I did something that make me think about it.. My hubby was leaving for client place for two days. He stopped and asked for water. As soon as I reached for a glass, I remembered someone saying not to have water when you are leaving on a trip.! (God knows who told me that, I can hardly remember most of the time.. Only Content stays with me.). Don't ask me why!! Don't Remember.!
Sometime I shrug and go ahead, but didn't do that today.. instead, gave him a bottle of water & said, "take it along with you and drink it later, I have heard that you shouldn't drink water just before leaving the house." He just looked at me confused, and took the bottle & said, well, this works better anyway and left..
There are many things... may be some things that I do sometimes which makes me wonder if I have too much "Moodha Nambike" as they say in Kannada.. (meaning Blind Faith). Like another famous thing that I follow, (ofcourse after someone told me abt a year back.) is not to wear a ring on the middle finger.. They told me it's not good to wear, also must have been followed with a why.., but duh, don't remember.!
What is it about? Should I follow or not to follow I donno., but I do keep following them.! It would make me extremely concious if I don't follow those little stuff... Like... Oh, yeah, the other day I was going for a walk in our subdivision, and saw a stray cat... Which is very very rare first of all, but it did occur to me that it crossed the path that I was about to take.Remember the old saying, not to cross when a cat crosses ur path. Well, I started to still keep going... as soon as I was near that spot, I automaticall turned around and crossed across. !!! (LOL) .. Funny part was that the cat crossed too.. Now it got on to my nerves, and I started walking faster just so that I can cross it's path.. Cat stopped and looked at me for a while and vanished below the drain entrance.., I guess Cat didn't wanted to walk on the path that I CROSSED.!!!
And hey I also remember during our college days, my friends would say seeing one crow would bring badluck.!!!! Esp during exam times blind faith or whatever works, we would be ready to do it, even if it meant looking for second crow.!! Hehehehe.. Good that we don't have any crows over here. !! when I think abt all these, it's hillarious. But I keep doing it.! Do I need a sanity check here, or is it common? LOL.. Keep your sanity everyone.. ;o)
