First Rose

 

And so the rose season begins....

New Blooms

The blue flowers in my front yard are starting to withdraw. Meanwhile some other flowers are just starting to show off. I have 2 types of white flowers just starting to come around this past weekend. The pink interesting shape flowers have been there for a while, I just don't have time to pay them much attention. The big burgundy flowers are my mom's baby. I don't like them that much but they are there anyway.

Ah by the way, these photos are fresh out from my camera. They were taken this morning right before I went to work. The sun was so bright I couldn't resist. So I was 20 mins late for work because of this. hehe.

Welcome, carrots!

After over a week of waiting, my carrot seeds finally sprouted. These are heirloom seeds I am trying to grow. "Heirloom" comes from the word "heritage", meaning the seeds are passed down from many years ago and are not genetically altered in any way. They are suppose to be more flavorable and healthy to eat. I won't be able to harvest them till end of this summer or even early fall, but I am still very excited to be able to grow them and see them show their faces.

Peas Wonderland

Rain drops give my peas a chance to put on some glitters and shimmers.

What a capturing sight...

Everything you want to know about my arm

Here is a picture of my arm in case you haven't got a closer look. The story began 2 years ago when I worked at my previous company. My work station was not exactly ergonomic so at the end I insured my wrist. The injury was so great that for months I couldn't move my wrist, fingers AT ALL. It was literally paralyzed. After 2 months of physiotherapy without success and over $300 spent, I turned to acupuncture. It took another 2 months before my wrist started to become functional again. By the time I could use it to drive and eat half a year had already passed by.

Since then my right arm had always been weak but pain had subsided. I tried to exercise it whenever I can but still it showed exhaustion very frequently. 2 weeks ago I was half asleep trying to complete some on going projects before lunch at work. By accident I didn't place the heavy duty 3 hole puncher safely on the desk before pressing on it. It felt hard on my wrist along with the strength I exerted supposedly to punch holes on the document. After this incident my wrist started to hurt almost everyday again. I was hoping with enough rest it would heal eventually. However just yesterday I injured it again. While driving to work few cars in front of me stopped abruptly. To avoid collision I had to do a quick turn on the wheel to go on the shoulder lane. That quick movement was proved to be too much for my already injured arm. At that point I knew I had to go see a doctor again. This time I decided to visit a massage therapist, the chinese type.

Hopefully my wrist will heal quickly. I can't afford to be armless again for yet another summer. It would be a shame if I can't hand pick my own crops!!! >__<

Prayer

"Dear God, my friends are in trouble.
I lift their hearts up to Your hands.

Please hold them and never let go.
Please protect them when they cannot themselves.
Please talk to them so loud that they have to hear you.
Please give them the courage to follow you.

Lord You have shown me Your love and given me Your grace.
Please pour You heart to them as You've to me.

Lord please give me the heart to understand and be a good sister in Christ.
Please give me the wisdom and be a flowing channel of your love.

I pray all these in Jesus name,
Amen."
