Hobbies-Gardening-A Stress Reliever

Mel says my love for gardening must be due to my having ' Kiwi' blood however I'm not so sure but lately I have been enjoying it a lot. (I might add that my body doesn't enjoy it as much!)

Our landlady has been away for the past 6 weeks so I took to tidying up her garden after the three typhoons that recently passed through Baguio City.
Here are some pictures of the gardens around our house.........nearly all of the plants are in pots!



This is my own garden / laundry area where I have the washing machine

and clothes lines etc..my own little haven of rest??.....



This is our scene as we come out of our front door.




A little path in front of our dining/lounge area



My quiet time spot.




Yes that's a mango tree in the distance that grows heaps of inedible mangoes (so sour).




Succulents



Our landlady's orchids



My laundry area....you can see the YWAM Centre in the background...yes we can touch the roof from our place......


Time to do the laundry........Its good to have a hobby as it helps to relieve stress!


Shortly after taking these pictures today we had an unexpected hail storm!


Always expect the unexpected in the Philippines.......or so they say!
