Manila just felt the hottest day of 2012 and I can’t imagine being there this season. I live down South where buildings are scarce and empty fields still survive. The trees, plants, and grass around our vicinity helps to cool us down – not to mention our very own garden where my eggplants live. Whenever I tend to them (I only have three surviving eggplants), I feel like The Little Prince tending to his rose. This morning I find that one of my plants made some new friends:
Good morning grasshoppers!
Four small green grasshoppers keeping cool. I bet they scare off the aphids and ants, both are nowhere in sight. Aside from these green creatures, my eggplants are home to other bugs and spiders. Happy to give them a little sanctuary while I wait for my harvest. Just don’t eat all the leaves!
This makes me so happy and grounded in “real simple life”, how everything falls into place in nature when we don’t disrupt it, and the simple lasting joy it gives.
Have a happy weekend everyone! 🙂
This reminds me of a clinique perfume gifted to me, it’s called Happy and smells like summer citrus.
