waiting for rains to start work in the garden. one month of terrible heat without respite my garden is in a sorry state. after my husbands passing away in july last year, i had not given much attention. i love a chaotic garden, full of colours.Right now my frangipanis are in bloom. i am waiting for the purple lily to show itself ,its been two yrs since i planted it. impatience died coleus wilting, all of them waiting for the rains.
One year will come and go since my husband passed away and memories will remain,get strengthened and legends born in place of real things. if not for G my g.son who assists me in the kitchen and garden it would have been difficult. i am not computer savvy and type with one finger and take forever to understand. but i am curious about blogs. I don't think i have the patience to sit for hours together at the com. lets see how this pans out. may be very short lived. have to go.
How wonderful to see you here. Your daughter and your family have been a part of my life for a while now, even though we have never met.
ReplyDeleteI hope your garden gets some respite from the heat soon. We are also just boiling in the heat here in Kolkata.
I do hope you keep posting.
Hi Kasturi
ReplyDeleteFirstly congrats on your blog.
Frangipanis and blue lilies! Now that sounds really exotic. Let's have more pictures of em!
And hey girl, this computer thingie is no rocket science. One finger typing is just fine. Keep the good stuff coming. :) Flowers, memories, recipies, queries, opinions...let em all bloom in this little cyber garden of yours.
Best
Charu
Kasturi Aunty,
ReplyDeleteEven if you don't have the patience to sit for long periods of time at the com,
do
keep
writing.
This simplicity and honesty of this entry moved me, and I hope to keep reading more.
Love,
Danielle (the one who used to live with Iqbal)
Hello aunty! How lovely to see you online. I do hope you blog regularly. I for one will add yours to my bookmarks and follow closely.
ReplyDeleteI have one suggestion for you. Apparently, the standard procedure for some mothers who blog is to refer to their doubtless adorable offspring as 'monster' when they're online. Do ask your daughter about this, she will help clarify. I hope you also put this into practise. It will be lovely, don't you think? :)
Regards
Ravi
Hi Aunty, Looking forward to reading your blogs.. do pass on gardening tips and recipes once in a while to us. I too am waiting for the rains to start the pots in my balcony ( some from your cuttings !)

ReplyDeleteHi Everyone there,
ReplyDeleteThanks a ton for all yr comments.Makes you feel important or what? I feel like i am in nursery but i never went to one. The very first time i used a mouse i got so frightened i thought it was posessed! Gardening tips and recipes will follow thick and fast. Love
Yes, I remember the first time I tried using the mouse- the cursor remained absolutely out of control. Looking forward to your posts.
ReplyDeleteDear Kasturi,
ReplyDeleteI knew you - in person, briefly- as aunty once, but shall take courage and call you Kasturi now, K?!
How lovely to read your blog- as i grow older, see young ones coming up like sturdy plants around our feet, life seems so different from what it seemed those years ago, when i was a young plant!
good to hear from you, moving to read you, and want to read much more
love
hansa
Despite mouse troubles, finger typing, and what-not, I look forward to reading more from you.
ReplyDeleteLudwig's suggestion about the 'monster' is worth a think.
I have told myself that this blog has to inspire me to pick up gardening after my aborted attempt in Munich :) Wonderful to have you online. Hugs.
