When I came to visit my grand mom, I was sad to see her sick and weak to mobilize after being hospitalized for 3 days.  I was told she has gallstones and is under medication.   Surprisingly,  it was only last summer that she joined us for an out of town trip  and she was full of life and very excited while visiting  the Orchids Garden.   There was not even a single trace of her impending  illness.  What do you expect?   She was  overwhelmed with the green surrounding and she was all over the place!

Being a green thumbed herself,  gardening is one of her fave hobby.  And the garden tour energized her no end.  Understandably, she was very much in awe with every plants she sees as she hopped from one green house to the other.  I came looking for her when I’ve  lost sight of her and seemingly got lost among the tall flowering plants.  She is 78 years old and mom told me to be responsible in assisting her and  I almost over reacted when I thought of her getting lost.

Anyway, after getting a bit worried, there,  I’ve found her conversing with gardeners busily cultivating the rich and fertile soils in the area.   She was like a small inquisitive child asking about the tumbling composter parked just under a big tree , and her “instant friends” told her that they are using it to do their own compost.   The abundance of organic fertilizers really improved their soil that yielded healthy plants.  It seemed my grandmom was interested so she asked me to browse the web for composter.  Have I not lead her away for lunch, for sure she will be asking too many questions about gardening.

my grandmom was the one in blue…. lost?

I promised to take her to a visit to another garden so hopefully she is well by then.
