Finally a glimpse of sun...

Topic: House & Garden Philosophy

At last, a sunny day !! Last two weeks we only saw rain, after a very promising two weeks of spring sun. I love the sight of my garden, growing and blooming. The cherry tree full of blossoms, followed a few days later by the apple tree and finally the non-fruit tree, I don’t know its name, really. The blossoms were washed out though during the rains these last two weeks. But I can already see them; numerous cherries and apples as well. Now the time of the wallflowers and strawberries starts, and the grape plants are spreading their lustrous green ranks on the walls as well. It all gives me a very ambivalent feeling. I love this country during summertime and I wish I could spend the summer in my own garden, watching all the fruits grow and enjoy the result by September. But I also want to go ahead with my brand new start in Malaysia, which is still prevented by my not-sold-yet house… Especially when the mail came this morning; the final confirmation from UM, KL. Which, by the way, makes me wonder what the mailman would be thinking when he looks at the sender address, knowing this house is for sale. I wonder if the mailman puts 2 and 2 together and makes up his own imaginary story behind some of the letters he has to deliver. Or maybe he just thinks – geezz, with this kind of weather I ought to be sitting in my garden as well, enjoying a beer and the newspaper…
