The American Flag

ByMaria

The American Flag is flying half mast today because today is the day of Remembrance of what happened 10 years ago in New York. It seems only yesterday. I was watching it on TV when it happened and I thought it was just a movie where we are being attacked by Aliens or Terrorists. And then I suddenly realized that it is actually happening. All I can think of is how lucky we are because we’re not there, but at the same time I was praying for all the people that were victims and all their families who would miss them dearly. I can imagine how sorrowful it is to lose a loved one. Ten years had past and I hope the families of the victims of that tragedy find closure and healing.

    I have this Kaffir Lime tree in my garden for about a year now. I bought it from a nursery when it was only about 6 inch high. It is almost five feet tall now except I have to prune it so it would stay dwarf. I would gather the leaves for my Thai cooking…

  • A Bee in a Flower

    ByMaria

    Once in a while I go around the garden looking for something to capture with my camera. I happened to stumble on this bee that keeps hovering around the winter-melon vine. It goes from flower to flower sucking the nectar from each flower and pollinating each one in the process. The bee probably don’t even…
