A Filipina's journal in gardening and anything about plants, environment and nature in general
Sunday, May 23, 2004
I gathered some grass clippings (my husband mowed the lawn the previous day), then started putting mulch on the flowerplants. I asked the boys' help in gathering mulch. I was elated looking at them as they complied to my request (despite some objections)...
Manang is a Filipina transplanted from Metro Manila, Philippines to rural Maine. This blog mainly features observation around my surroundings which is so different from where I grew up in. While Metro Manila was a very congested and heavily polluted area, Maine is a refreshing and welcome change! Trees dominate the sceneries, most animals freely roam and are respected -- squirrels, skunks, deer, moose, etc. Here I get to see bees and birds and flowers, inhale the clean air, drink clean water from our well...And the people in our small community are very polite. This state is a wonderful place to live in and an ideal place to raise our children.
