Tangerine Peppers
An ornament plant out in the lobby of my Recreation Center would have made my Dad drool. I took this picture specifically for him since he loves spicy peppers. Both his grandson and granddaughter know about his taste, that is how he reacts to these tiny peppers. By the way I too would drool since…

Special Diets
When my son was three I asked my pediatrician if I should take my son off milk or gluten. He said no need since there was no evidence of milk causing any issues of autism. My son loved icecream and that was the only food he craved for. He loved those little debbie zebra cakes…

Tomatoes
It has been a warm week. The tomato plants have new flowers!!! By the end of next week, temperatures will be dropping and these flowers will not be able to survive. Feeling a bit sad for them. By the way tomatoes are fruits and not vegetables. I think this is one of the most cooked…

Detoxing
It was a summer like Fall Day. Is this called global warming? I do not know. But I really enjoyed my walk. Today I went to the park with my younger son. I did not take my phone with me.(I am a Mom to a typical kid too, and a car ride is one place…

The Lakes, WWE !
The one natural beauty I really love about living in the North East of this country is the abundant water. Of all, I love the lakes. During the 80s, when I was growing up, we had a severe water shortage in our city. The rains had failed and life was miserable. My grandparents used to…

Animals unaware!
Was the deer aware or unaware of the camera that I do not know. But I definitely was a surprise visitor in his neck of woods😊. Planning to write to prompts provided by other bloggers and hoping to read other bloggers too in the month of November Today I used two prompts and it was…

Binge watching
This month I want to try writing to prompts provided by other bloggers. I want to write everyday but I am not going to obsess about it. When I saw Fandango’s prompt for today I thought I should move on to another blogger since the prompt was prison. Early morning I had no idea about…

Florist Daisy (Mums)
My Spring Mums faded and I put them aside only to notice a few days back they have buds and now I have Fall flowers. I never expected them to bloom again. Truly excited since I didn’t do anything other than water them even when they weren’t blooming. So next year when I buy these…

The art of cooking
I never cooked before marriage. My Grandma never allowed me in the kitchen and I never bothered to learn much. All my cooking evolved by having men in my house. I learnt every day cooking by compulsion and I can say I am good at it. My special one has very good taste buds ,…

Ganga SnAnam Aacha
For those who do not speak my language, my title today may be difficult to understand so please bear with me as I explain. When my neighbor asked me how I am going to celebrate Diwali or Deepavali, the Indian lights festival, I really did not have an answer. Nothing can duplicate the fun and…

collywobbles
My entire life I have had collywobbles for one thing or another. If a problem gets solved, another pops. But a year back, I decided to go on a clean diet. I was completely of oil for couple of months and then I limited myself to five teaspoons a day. . Now, anything that makes…

My next project?
So what should I do with my kid? How am I going to engage him next? This is a hard task, but let me tell you google and amazon know my difficulty. As I just searched one craft material, the apps keep throwing me links to other similar things. Some are expensive and some are…

A Fall Day!
After two busy weeks, I went for a walk. My husband decided to walk with my son and I took my time to take stroll on the trail. The trail is a constant for my boy, so there is not much anxiety. But for me, I noticed the leaves changing color and felt the crisp…

Positivity
Last day of my Navaratri celebrations and it is Vijayadasami. I go to bed as a happy person. It was 10 days of continous visits by guests. Many years ago I used to be tense when I wanted to have people in my house. I was nervous how my son would behave and more about…

Hectic week
Today I was texting a friend saying that I couldn’t make it to her house this year for Navarathri. I told her we needed two weekends to finish rounding up everyone. She said, we need the entire winter to be Navaratri so that we are not depressed. I have already written a lot about rituals…

Reverse engineering and theme
As I start sending out my invites for my Golu next week, people have started asking what is the theme for my Golu this year? My special one has worked on a lot of things this year and just like last year I wanted to incorporate in my exhibit. But this year I want to…

Living in the present
We tend to carry a lot of baggages. Our everyday one is in itself so heavy. To be able to work on that we need to let go of some heavy ones like the past and the future. A nice illustration I saw on facebook. Weekend was great for my boy. We went to a…

Obsessive Compulsiveness
I have started my Navarathri set up in my home. This is not easy every year since my son is obsessed with things being in the same place. He is not a neat freak. He has his own arrangement and that cannot change. Yesterday with huge effort my husband with my helped moved a table.…

Garden Lily
I do not shop at the garden center during fall. I am not confident about planting bulbs for the spring. But I did do some window shopping and found these beautiful lilies. My plant identification app called this Orange Lily and it seems it represents confidence, pride and wealth. For Cee’s Flower of the Day!
