Money Well Spent

by | 4 Jul 2022

I bought two dahlia plants with 2/3 small flowers last summer from Walmart. After planting them in my front yard I was pleasantly surprised to see so many beautiful flowers during summer and fall. However, I didn’t know that they had bulbs underneath the plants, so this year when I was preparing a bigger spot for new plants in the front yard, I accidentally cut one set of bulbs and realized that they would grow this year too because I saw Walmart sells bulbs for different flowers in packets. I was extra careful with the second set of Dahlia bulbs and planted them after preparing the yard along with what left of the first set of bulbs. Surprisingly I got two plants again and they are even larger and stronger than last year. I took this photo (above) when dahlias just started to bloom. Currently both the plants are full of gorgeous flowers. I am very happy and I love them. I don’t remember how much I spent on them, but that money was very well spent on these Dahlia plants.

My worst experience with doctors

It was December 2015, my second son was playing with colored cotton balls and I thought I saw him putting one small cotton ball in one of his nostrils (he was 1 year+ at that time). We saw something red in his nose but we weren’t 100% sure because the inside of a nose...

Visiting Parks

During this summer I started to take my kids to different parks, so they can spend some time outside of the house and get some physical movements rather than playing video games the whole day. I take pictures every time we go outside. Also, I make videos of less than...

When Thoughts Aren’t Private

I just watched the first episode (“Joan Is Awful”) of the seventh season of Black Mirror on Netflix. It was incredibly dark. The story follows how a poor, everyday family falls victim to corporate greed. The premise was chillingly simple: you pay more money for the...

Voted

Last Tuesday was Election Day. There was not enough publicity about the candidates, so I didn't know anyone or their agenda. You wouldn't believe; I voted for the names that sounded better. The vote started at 7:00AM and I voted at 5:00PM. Yet, I was the 25th voter....
