My plants are like my children...

Greetings, my dear friends and family, I hope you are well and that life goes as you want it to.

Let me first thank my dear supporters for their generosity and kindness. Thank you for always being by my side, and giving me hope and motivation. If you were not, I might not be here today. I ask God for your happiness, success and health.

Now, that I'm writing a draft of this article, to publish it for tomorrow at noon, it is 1:30 pm, and I have to wake up at 7 am tomorrow, to go for a group bike ride. Tomorrow we will probably be 10 people. We want to cycle a long distance, and at the end of the road we will probably have breakfast in a cafe, and come back again. So I have to sleep earlier so that I can wake up tomorrow morning easily.

It's been a long time since we bought our bikes. My husband and I ride our bike for about an hour and a half almost every night. For this reason, I have become much more skilled in cycling than in the early days. Of course, my husband and I feel the change in our size, my husband has lost weight, but I am still the same weight as before, I just feel that my size has decreased a little. I hope to lose weight soon.

Today I decided to share some photos of my spring yard, which is full of flowers these days. It has been raining heavily in our area for the past week, and it has been very lush everywhere.

The flowers in my yard are like my children. I always thank God that after three years of living with my husband, we were able to buy this house with the money that came to my husband after the death of my mother-in-law, and of course with the help of taking a loan from the bank. I always thank God to have a safe place in the world that belongs to us and have a roof over our heads. Although we're still paying home mortgages. And for the next 10 years, we have to pay the installments of this loan every month.

I remember after we bought the house, and before we settled in, we had to do some repairs at home. After the repairs were done, we had very little money left, with which only we could move our belongings home. I asked my husband to give me a very small amount of money, so that I could buy a few flower bushes for the yard, so that when we move to our house, those plants and flowers would start a new life with us here. Because before us, this yard had no flowers or green plants inside.

I remember I went to a greenhouse with that little money, the flowers that were there, they were much more expensive than my budget. Eventually, due to the amount of money I had, I had to buy some very small and short branches, hoping that they would grow.

It's been almost 5 years since they were planted, and those cheap little flowers, which were no more than 20 inches tall, have now become these giant plants.

They are like my children. Because I chose them from dozens of big and awesome flowers. They were very weak because they were cheap, but I believed in them, I knew that one day they would charm me with all their beauty. I knew that one day they would grow so big that I could no longer believe that these were the cheap and small flowers of the first day, that I buried their weak branches and roots with my own hands with great hope.

I believed in them, and they take my conscious out of me today with their beauty, fragrance and freshness. They are as dear to me as my children. They made me proud.

There is no place in the world safer and calmer for me than this yard and my flowers and plants. Wherever I am in the world, my heart flies to this point. Maybe after I die, my soul will forever choose this small piece of land as its eternal tomb.

I love you all, my dear ones. Have a nice day... 💚🌾
