Front Yard Flowers
My kids joined me in exploring the surroundings of our house lately. There’s so many things to be done. Mostly taking out weeds, fixing some landscaping in the front and back yards and doing some vegetable gardening.
I’m happy to see more of the Spring flowers blooming in the right side of the entrance in our house. The ones in the left side had lots of blooms but tall weeds needs to be taken out. I need more time to do this though. The creeping phlox like the once on top of the background in this picture, gets… Continue reading

Betts Park Garden
I am so happy to see spring flowers at Betts Park Garden. The master gardeners in our area worked hard on this particular area in Betts park. I remember it has one row of garden 5 years ago. Now it has 4 more rows of garden in it.
I remember it was a tulip garden the first time my husband took me to Betts park. It was so beautiful! I never dreamed of seeing tulips in a garden before as I can only see tulips in fancy flower shops in the tropics where I live before. I am always excited… Continue reading
Throwing Boomerangs
This Thursday, we went to one of the open fields in Betts Park and did something fun activity as a family. My bro in law went with us and brought us some boomerangs. My husband said it reminds him of his Dad who’s favorite sport is throwing boomerangs in this field.
They have been teaching Little G in throwing boomerang and Frisbee long time ago. I’m impressed of seeing him throwing boomerang so high and it did some turn. My husband encouraged me to throw a boomerang at that time but I am afraid that I might hit someone.… Continue reading
Tumbling Class & Little G
Our dear Little G is attending tumbling class at the YMCA. It was a 5 week session class and he attends 2 times a week. It gives me 45 minutes of not attending to him and focus with our youngest who is about 2 years old. Parents are not allowed to see their kids in the 4 weeks of the class but on the 5th week, there is an observation day where the parents can see their kids perform. I was at the running track upstairs while I took this photo and nobody noticed. Smiles. Little G is wearing white… Continue reading
Peony Sprouts
When do peony grow sprouts? The answer is usually on middle spring and check out what zone does your state belong. Chances are, peonies might and might not survive in your area. I’m lucky that I live here in Pennsylvania and I can grow peonies in my backyard. They are so awefull gorgeous when blooming! They have large and sweet scented blooms. In order to grow peonies in your garden, buy some roots at your nearest Garden center or ask some from your neighbor. Plant it during Fall where you can still water it a few weeks before the last frost.
