March 14, 2018 PI Day

Interesting Fact: Stephen Hawking died today. May you rest in peace, Sir!

March 12-16 is March break. Its been challenging when you are mom of 3, working with no helper. But that's just a fact of life. I took the kids to Kanata Wave Pool last monday and it was a blast. Bunos: there was a sauna and hot tub for me.

Ottawa is back at snowing days. Here are pictures this morning. Its quite an exercise to dig your car in the morning. But on the other hand, I am blessed because I have a shovel.

Here is my Eleanor, a fiesty Honda Fit totally covered up.

The Human Animal

That sums up what I have experience this week:) Thought provoking indeed.

Tropical Hibiscus- Purple Galaxy send its fall bloom. I have not captured the color palette, but you get the idea, very pretty.

Cymbopogon citratus ( lemongrass) Because Filipino will put it in anything we cook, from chicken soup to stuffing for a whole pig roast.

Litchi Tomato - Solanum sisymbriifolium

Ottawa Ontario Canada.

Solanum sisymbriifolium ( litchi tomato), the mother plant was from Telsing Andrews Edible garden ( fall 2016). We got a garden tour - with our seed saving workshop and I was given few ripe fruits to taste and save. I love the fiesty look of this plant and sweet fruit such an oddball, in fact, i have one growing near my front door. 

It is my favorite summer plant, i don't think I ever need to water it often like the regular tomatoes. I direct seeded these seeds as well and they grow just fine. 



The fruits are very sweet and I love sweet fruits, and the flush of fruits is in succession.
