RE: Touching green things

Beautiful garden and scenery you have there. I wish I had more time to keep our garden like yours. Unfortunately, here in the tropics weeds just grow back 5 seconds after you picked them lol. So Good job on keeping yours looking so neat and clean. For me spending time among green things really calms me down and gives me comfort too. I feel so blessed living in a tropical green country close to nature and with a huge, yet very wild, garden. Just like you, I often feel the urge to touch some leaves or walk barefoot through some parts of the garden. Though sometimes you pay a painful price for this. Not so long ago I stepped on a centipede and it bit me, luckily it was only a small one so the pain was ok. Something else I really enjoy after a hard day of work is cooking with plants and of course, eating it after... have a beautiful day and enjoy these moments of inner peace!

Hi Amy, thanks for saying so. I guess the best bits I keep to myself as the blockchain doesn't need to see everything, but I'm quote proud of my vegetables so am happy to show them. As my fruit trees develop this year I'll do some posts also.

Centipedes are creepy little buggers, literally and otherwise. I don't really like creepy crawlies like centipedes, scorpions and spiders...or snakey bastards either. (Snakes.) I'm in Australia where we have many deadly things, and am always out in the wilderness so I see many and never feel the need to befriend them.

Thanks for your nice message and I look forward to seeing you again should you decide to drop in.

Haha... I hear you. Not a huge fan of all these creepy crawlers either but after 8 years of living in Cambodia I kinda got used to them. Though we have far less deathly creatures than you have in Australia. But it's already enough for me. Growing up in Belgium we had zero poisonous animals, so it took me a while to learn and live with them.

Take care!

I've not been to Cambodia but have been to Vietnam and assume it's quite similar, at least in this respect. Bloody little crawlies!

I wish I lived in a place like that but in Australia...Nah, not going to happen. Lol.
