Watering the Plants

Thanks to my house owner Aunty who adores plants a lot. She has numerous plants around the house. We stay in the first floor and our balcony has around 35 plants. I have seen her watering the plants everyday. Seeing her doing it, I just volunteered to water the plants.

And, now it has become a routine for me and I look forward for every day morning to meet the plants. I am feeling a very close relationship between me and the plants.

I wake up in the morning by around 7:00 AM and open the balcony door to see the plants. From whatever I see, I feel they are still sleeping. Initially, I have thought of watering them by 7:00 AM itself. But, they looked at me like, " Please don't water us now. We are already shivering out of cold". So, I give them time to wake up and do some warm up (or rather get some warmth). It will become 7:30 AM by then. I would have finished making mild breakfast for us. Now, I come back to see the plants. They are all fresh and ready to have their breakfast.

I start watering them. There are some small plants which are kept in a matrix of 4 X 3 and quite bigger plants kept on a pod in a line. I start with the smaller kids allowing the big ones to wait for sometime. The small ones get excited so much and they look even more fresh now. Big ones take more water. Now that they are all fed well, they smile at me for a nice breakfast. And, I feel very good after this.

I feel this is such a good stress reliever and makes my day real fresh....Nature Fresh !!!

Innumerable as the stars of night,
Or stars of morning,
dewdrops which the sun
Impearls on every leaf and every flower
