EXPLORING JASMINE

Our jasmine bush in our tiny garden is growing so lush.

The branches are 'running' here and there.

A slim branch is 'running' into the porch.

This branch is full of flowers and crossing in front of the door.

My little one really loves to smell these aromatic flower 

ATTENDING ON A WEDDING CEREMONY

Sunday May 1 was a special day for my sister in law and her husband, cause they held a wedding ceremony of their son. 
The only son that they have.
A very special and sacred moment for my nephew.
Actually, I couldn't follow all of the ceremonial moment, cause my little one got fever and a bit fussy.

Congratulation boy...
Wishing you all the best in your new life.

The new couple and their parents, a new big family

Flower arrangements as background

A gate on the pride house that made of plaited green coconut leaves called "bleketepe". 

There's a 'penjor', a high and slim arch that made of slim bamboo and 'janur' or young coconut leaves, be a symbol of welcome greeting.

On the right and left side of the gate There're some foodstuffs such as banana tree, sugar cane, bread fruit, rice and coconut.

Special moment for the special couple...

LITTLE GARDENER AND HER FALLEN PLUMERIA

BABY GARDENER AND HER JASMINE

THE NEXT GARDENER

PLAYING WITH THE CUTIE WAITER

This was that my kids have done to break their boring time on the hospital.

Went outside finding an interesting thing.

Yes, playing with a cat on a shop.

The cat sat on the front side of the shop, waiting for the buyer.

Just looked....

My kids were so happy playing with this cutie  cat.

A simple happiness....

GARDEN HELPER...

Do gardening activities sometime needs lot of time.

I couldn't do all of the activities by my self.

I really needs garden helper.

Here they are my garden helpers...

Actually, gardening with them is a great  moment to learn about life, nature, green living, effort, pleasure, healthy live, team work and many more.

Through the time they grow, and enjoy with their own activities, makes we just have a limited time to do gardening activities together.

I was really excited to see my boy and girl do watering, or just play with the soil...

Picking their own vegetables...
And make any mess on the garden.
Until they get tired...

A simple happiness...

SUNDAY THE 13TH

Today, Sunday July 6 is our 13th wedding anniversary.
Actually no party or no excessive excitement.
This is the best time for us to reflect on our life's journey, our togetherness.
Happiness, sadness, smile, laugh, cry, and everything that we have been through together.

The time feels passes so fast.
My daughter is not a little baby anymore, now she is a teenager.
And my son too...
We still have a long journey to care for and educate them, with all of our love.
Long lasting happiness can not be achieved in a real time, not instantly.

God... 
Give us the strength to nurture love in our family.
With sincerity of love, all happiness will come by itself into our family.
Give us strength and patience on educating and guiding our children.
We wish they will be great persons, humble, compassionate, helpful, able to survive on various conditions, optimistic, creative, able to encourage others, and of course be lucky persons.
God... thanks for everything
Simplify our steps for our true happiness.

LANTANA FOR MY LOVELY MOTHER

On July 4, three years ago my mother passed away and left me so many sweets memories.
How deep is her love to me... I couldn't measure it.
It must be sooo.... deep.

So much memories would never disappear on my mind.
I always remember all togetherness with her.

A sweet memories is about  'Kembang Tembelekan' (Lantana Camara).
She really loved this flower, although the smell is not good enough when the leaves are crushed.
This was the last outdoor activity on May 2009 before her first heart attack.
(Sorry the time and date on the pictures were incorrect, failure on time setting.)

I took these pictures when we visited Dieng Plateau. 
She really loved this bush, but when I asked her to take a picture beside this beautiful bush, she rejected it.
She was so enthusiastic to this bush.

Actually I would showed these pictures to her, but before I moved this pictures from my camera and printed it, she got her first heart attack and treated on ICU for about 11 days.
Yeah...about two weeks after we visited this place she was hospitalized.

So... every time I see Lantana, I always remember her...
We always love you...
We wish you rest in peace... in heaven...

ENVIRONMENT DAY

June 5, is special day for me.
This day is my sister's birthday and of course we commemorate the Environment Day.
Happy birthday my Lovely Sister!
I wish you always be a good wife, mother, daughter, friend, gardener and many more...
Wish you all the best! 
I send this 'green post' as a gift for your birthday.
I hope you will read and love it...
 

I'm sure everybody all over the world have known that United Nation determined June 5 as an Environment Day.
The determination is used to stimulate worldwide awareness of environmental issue and encourage political action. 

 

Environment is a global issue.
In some part of the world peoples improve their awareness to their environment, but in other parts they less their awareness.
For me, if we aware to our nature, so... our nature will give us more.
Keep our nature green.
They will give us more oxygen, nicer weather, healthy air, nicer space and of course sufficient our basic needs.

So many ceremonial events to celebrate this moment, but I think it's not useful.
Cost and energy dissipating, and no improvement into our environment around us.
If we always celebrate that day, our nature should be better, better and better year by year.
No global warming issue...
No environmental disaster...
How wonderful our life...

 

Now... we start to make our lovely world become nicer...
Save the energy, starting from our own home, our self. 
Reduce, reuse and recycle our home waste. 

 

Keep our own environment clean, green and fresh.
Improve the quality of our life...

 

Let our ground breathe away, freely...
Too much concrete, asphalt or other hard material are not good enough for our earth, they contribute on global warming.
Don't let all of the ground surface covered by hard material that is not environmentally friendly.
Give more open space for the plants.
Making pavement as needed.
Be eco friendly... 

 

My home that I live on is appearance of our concern to my neighborhood and my environment.

 

Save our earth...
I'm sure we can do that.
Go green...
