Time Ticking

Time does not stand still. it is passing , passing.  

Sometimes you want time to slow down but sometimes you prefer it to go faster. it depends on your wishes. Fact is time has its own speed its just how we feel about it depending on the state of our mind.

But what time can do we cannot deny for example me -aging my children older my grandchildren bigger.

The trees I planted some have died a natural death some being mercilessly chopped down.

With the passing of time the trees in my garden have grown so tall posing danger of falling on to the house so they have to be cut down. Yes the four tall gaharu trees were chop off many months ago their stumps have begun to rot even.

The cempaka trees were chopped off halfway now they are growing back with vengeance, the leaves more lush and  flowers are more and bigger.

The dukong tree is still growing but no more fruiting.

The belimbing tree is very old now that the bark of stem and branches are wrinkling and peeling.

But the passing of time cannot yet make me tired of gardening.

I don't plant that much but i keep on planting though they keep on dying. In a way thats the way of passing my time.

These few days I keep spending time rearrranging the plants and trimming the grass and making the ground tidy. 

The children are coming and I am quite excited because they have not come visiting like they used to before when they were small. 

Now they are all already of study age. The first grand already in the university the second in college the other in secondary and the one younger in the primary. Adli is in pre school. See how time flies ... yet here I remain still tending my little garden.

I feel happy today the ground is tidy when Adli comes he can roll on that grass...

 

I love this leaning tree

I should be spending more time doing the garden to make it better but alas I don't have the time. My new interest is stealing my gardening time.
