Nursery
Today was getting our hands dirty. My critters and the birds around the garden love my plants. It has been a struggle to grow plants from seeds, especially sunflowers and beans. To help the plants survive from birds and critters we found out nurseries helped. Once the plants develop a few leaves in our sun…

Today was so much fun. I had decided to go to Dunkin Donuts for free donuts (being National Donut Day) and a trail walk nearby but ended up at Duck Donuts for free cinnamon donuts and Story Stroll at a completely different trail. Some pictures were taken by my kids, so I thought I would…

Miniature Golf
So, I saw the above on my son’s program’s face book page. My special one is now an young adult and my typical kid is going to be a senior coming this fall and it looked as if it didn’t matter much for me. But as the day went on and as we prepared to…

Back to the movie theater!
After two years, I went to the movie theater. Theaters opened a long time back, but I lost touch during pandemic. It was easy to binge watch on Netflix or amazon and not drive to the theater at a particular time. One of the show I did binge watch during the peak of pandemic was…

Amur Honeysuckle
The flowers are tiny but they smell so good. My plant finder says it is an invasive one, and yes they are from my experience too. They grow really big and there is no maintenance. The early morning breeze spreads it sweet smell around. For Cee’s Flower of the Day!

Chandi Homam
I write this blog as we drive back from Stroudsburg. A trip specifically taken for me. When I was in 11th Grade my grandfather asked me to make a cheat sheet during Navarathri. I was supposed to type down the shlokas from Devi MAhatmyam. That was my first exposure to this great scripture of Mother…

Frowzy
We have done a lot of 5km walks. We may look frowzy by the finish line but it is all worth it. This particular 5 km was around Kennywood Park and we got a discounted entrance during Christmas time. Even after a 5k walk we had all the energy to go around the park and…

Glasses
It is a truth I need to accept. I need my reading glasses all the time. I needed a comforter and while shopping I couldn’t read if it was queen or king size, leave alone the tiny prints the manufacturer doesn’t want me to read. The past few years I have started watching Television more…

Bearded iris
The flowers have both upright petals and cascading petals. At the center of the cascading petal is a small fur that looks like a beard. So comes the name. Even with the beard these flowers are snazzy! For Cee’s FOTD and Ragtag community’s word snazzy

Therapies
Along with behaviors we still deal with sensory issues with my special needs boy. As he grew old and while planning his transition I had made that to be one of my major concern in all his transition forms. When we started preschool our issues were hyperactivity. A swing in his preschool class room calmed…

Luminous
The luminous light from my Himalayan Rock Salt Lamp provides a meditating atmosphere in my prayer room thereby being therapeutic for my brain. No scientific backing , just my personal experience.

Picnics
Monday was a hot day for us. I heard on news that it is good to be out in the sun since it helps to improve our serotonin level. If that were the case that no one should be depressed in the tropics. I deal with my son’s anxiety and I have learnt about dopamine…

Happy Easter 🐣
As I browsed for some prompts today, I found one to be “egg”. I didn’t need a lexicon to find the meaning unlike zoomorphic which I had written about yesterday. I am not so comfortable around eggs, but last week my son’s program had hard boiled eggs to be dyed for Easter party! It was…
