hehe..beezee, beezee...


our fave trail. old steamboat trace trail, which is flooded right now.


sorilah seme..i tak ada gambar camping :) tak bawak kamera pun sebab nak kena charge and i tak tau mana itu cable..so ni ah gambar kiter gi hiking . just sean dengan i jer. the kids that time i think kat rumah their friends agaknyer. tadi ni ah baru habis gardening. it is always raining here. ingatkan nak till the land tadi but semalam hujan so tanah still soggy. so kena lah tunggu bila it is a bit dry. ni pun kat luar tengah gerimis.




a small brown snake sunning itself. they like to do this..kadang kat tetengah jalan they will sun themselves and we will have to try and avoid them.


nothing much to say lah..my mind is on other things right now. sibuk tengah prepare the documentation for the practice. more and more papers lah. pastu nak kena prepare sort of lesson plan for the summer reading activity. ni ah kalau ada rezeki will follow sean gi des moines, iowa for most part of next week. dia ader conference kat sana. we'll see. kalau i tak pergi..boleh lah i buat project kat luar nak expand my garden. sekarang ni my garden tengah terngot2 lah nak membesar. due to the cloudy weather, lambat seme nak tumbuh or membesar.



the generator..more like a mini dam trying to drain the water that flooded the area. can you see all that debris? it was bad flooding. the trail is actually closed sebab most of the northern part in under water.


just planted daisies, redistribute the thyme, tanam the black-eyed susans, basil and alih sana alih sini lah. :) what a stress reliever gardening is. kat depan rumah pulak, i tanam a hydrangea bush yang doesn't need a lot of sunlight. and some azaleas. too bad i didn't get to see the blooms this spring..insyallah next spring will get to see the flowers. peonies wahh bau harum. cam bau a bit like a cross between vanilla and rose gitu. anyway, here are the pictures :) nanti balik dari des moines, ini pun kalau i pegi kalau tak nanti i amik gambar garden and update another time. till then enjoy your weekends :)




beautiful red columbine. i ada similar type but mine is purple and yellow with a bit of blue.



the sign telling us it is closed but sean said to just take a look.



due to the rain, the trail is so luscious. these purple flowers grew along the trail in bunches.



the bench where we selalu rest jugak...see how it is set in the middle of these flowering plants. this is the first time i have ever seen it this way.




ahhh...don't forget to keep a look out for the old poisonous ivy.



this one looks like a type of baby's breath..but i think it belongs to the daisy family. this is in pink.




this one is the same as above cuma it is in white. i love these flowers.



wild black berries nyer plant have started to flower..mintak2 the next time pergi dah berbuah..yumms!



look at all that water that is being pumped out of the fields..or this is like a creek. tempat yang takder air was full of it this time round.


tambah lagi satu gambar :) ni ah the snake..it was very cute..lidah dia merah terjelir2 gitu. it didn't mind sean or i...cam best gitu nengok dia suntanning :)

Ooooooo eeeeeee!!! I mesti terperanjat katak if I was the one there and saw that snake cross the road!! Geli nye!!! But u seem to be so ok and well-adapted to the wilderness there - nama2 pokok apa semua u tahu. I think if I got lost and stuck there, jawabnye, tak keluar lah aku dari that place... *hehehee*

Glad u had a great time out with the family and the walk looks amazingly beautiful! :)
