Can’t believe 2011 has just flown past by. I have had my fair share of ups and downs but that’s just the way life goes and it’s always bittersweet. Hopefully 2012 will be another amazing year and I should also make an effort to blog more often too .

On another note, most of you should know by now that I don’t really have a green thumb. Most of the plants in my backyard are either dying or barely alive. The only thing that’s really flourishing is my rose bush.

Aren’t they pretty? They smell very lovely too .

Anyway, I’m sure that you all still remember when I first planted my herb garden back in November? Well, some flourish and only one of them died. The unlucky plant was the coriander but it wasn’t really my fault. I saw Momo peed on it and the next day it turned brown and died .

After all the heard work of watering them diligently and feeding them with blood and bone, it’s time to harvest some of them. I cut some spring onions and red chillies so that I can used them in my cooking. I cooked black peper chicken stir-fry and I was over the moon . I know I’m being silly but I’m just so happy that I can use some of my home grown herbs!!!!!

It has been pretty hot and humid the past few days. I shouldn’t really complain much because those in the eastern states, especially in Victoria are having it a lot worst with bushfires and temperature soaring up to 45 degrees . Hope the weather will be better for them soon.

We might be having thunderstoms in the next day or so. Skies are getting cloudy and sometimes it makes me feel gloomy as well. However, in such gloomy and cloudy times like this, there will always be a rainbow to cheer us up and brings a smile to our faces .

Anyway, after exploring Mark’s herb garden, I decided to create my very own herb garden too. Since the weather today is so beautiful, I went to Bunnings to buy some pots, potting mix, and of course, some herbs. I bought sweet basil, coriander, spring onions, and two chilli plants. Do you think 3 herbs in a pot is too much or too tight ? Or should I just have 3 herbs in a pot? Erm, mind you, I really do not have a green thumb at all so I hope my effort and the money I spent today to start my herb garden, will not go to waste since the roses in my gardens are still alive and blooming .

While I was gardenning, my babies were enjoying the sun too. It was a little easier snapping their photos today as they’re not moving too much!! What I like most about the two of them is that they both get along so well and I just love seeing both of them together!!

Lastly, after flashing my stash on the last post, someone reckons that they’re not even full and suggest that I should buy more yarn!! And buy more yarn I did !!! Hahahaha!!! Ah…just kidding, I actually bought the yarns way before I flashed my stash. Anyway, here are the lot of yarns and I plan to use them for blankets. Oh well, hopefully I will have an FO to show you on the next post.
