Things in the backyard (Freewrite)

I'm writing today coz I accepted the @meitanteikudo**s challenge** about freewriting. And because I want to write about my **backyard**, let's just **focus** on the **things** here. I am now at our yard. Waiting for my mind to focus on something. Whatever I saw, I will write something about it. Ready? **Plants.** Plants are **god-given gifts** that **provide** people a lot of benefits. It sometimes comes from a medicinal plant, from a bearing tree, from the flower itself, and the leaves and trunks too. **Soil.** I step on it right now. And I can say that this is what we need to stay on track. This soil is a **plant home**. Plants need to be in there to absorb water and nutrients to be alive. **Water.** It rained earlier. So God watered the plants for me. No need to do something about it as it already benefited from the shower. It sips everything from the soil and absorbs it on its stem to be able to survive this afternoon. It's all good for a day. Let's see if it rained again tomorrow. I will be happy coz I'm lazy watering my plants. 😅 **Flower.** Did you know that this day is my **happiest day**? Why? I have my **first ever flower bloom**.

It comes in **pink color**. I didn't expect to have it as I just plant it starting from its **seeds**. A **lot of time** I spend watering it until it became a **beautiful flower** now. I know it **worth the wait** as I love having a flower in my garden. Can't wait for other flowers to bloom too. I plant **2 other** different flowers here, and I know this will be beautiful soon. 😍 I want to see a lot of **butterflies** visiting my garden. I love to feed them with its nectar and enjoyed their feast here. **Stone.** I saw a **stone** right now. And this is **part** of my garden. I won't neglect it unless I don't have time to add it to my article. **Stone** comes in different shapes. I don't know how it certainly helps my plants but I used it as a **design**, as a way to keep my plants **standing**. So yeah, that's how my plants benefited from it. My husband also uses it for his **cement** projects. So yeah, he just put it in one corner and uses it in time of need. 😅 **Leaves.** Every leaf here is so **green**. It just means **healthy plants** right? Well, I also love to have different colors of leaves soon. It will make my garden beautiful even without any flowers on it. Just **plain leaves** make them attractive because of their **unique colors**. **Grass.** I don't know how this grass can easily grow without any effort of planting and looking after it. I just got annoyed sometimes that they can **easily grow** anywhere than the plants that you cared so much about. I think they all got the nutrients that my plants should have. 🙄 Do I need to **pull it out**? No. Next time maybe. I'm writing and I don't want to be distracted as the timer will end soon. But honestly, some grass has an **attractive flower**.

It's **beautiful** to see, but still, it's **grass**. It easily develops and effortlessly growing too fast. That's why I hate it sometimes. **Mosquitoes.** Yeah, I saw mosquitoes. I have here **menthol plants** which are known to be **mosquito repellent**. But why is it mosquitoes are **attracted** to it? I think they love the **smell** of my menthol plants. 🤔 Is that **weird**? These mosquitoes are just different I think. They can be alive with poison in them. 😂 I think I almost wrote everything here. So I will end it. Wow. It just goes well with the time. My **mobile phone** timer beeps which means I spend **25 minutes** writing. Wheew. How come this **free writing** is so good? 😅 I mean I just tried it for the **first time**. Wrote everything that comes to my mind without any doubts or thinking twice. So yeah, @meitanteikudo is right. It's **enjoyable**. You can try it too. 😊 Thanks for reading. 💖 **Ps. Want to mention my 3rd sponsor here...** @noisytoothie**. Thanks for being one. 🥰**
