Looks like sleepy hollow outside. The fog surrounds the island and it's creepy. The weather temperature is only 6 d C. I can't believe that Freddie the cat was there at the front porch when I opened our door. It's cold and foggy.
It's that time of the week, it's that day of the week to have our bedding and coordinates for laundry. I vacuum our carpet everyday. I hate dust. Dusting is everyday, at least twice a day. I'm a clean freak too. When I do the dishwashing on the machine I made sure that the machine is full of the plates, glass, silverwares for washing, rinsing and sanitizing. I handwashed utensils, pots and pans on the kitchen sink. I had manually clean the oven two weeks ago after the "self-clean process."
It's only September 20, 2018. You know what? The dahlias on our garden are still in bloom and too many young buds soon to bloom in next few days. However, the hanging plants, two variety of petunias withered due to the long hot summer months. Can't revive the other petunia because it's dead. The petunia in one of the planter at the backyard still has green leaves attached to the branches but no petunia flowers. It might revive its flowering condition maybe later when the sun comes out.
Nothing much happening here in our place. Too much showers from the sky and the ground is always wet and muddy on places where there's no bermuda grass and no clover on such spot. There are visible growth of small brown mushrooms on the lawn.
The weather is harsh but I was amazed of the strawberry plants that keep on bearing its sweet fruits. Wow! What an incredible plant. This is the kind of plant that never die. It can withstand the four seasons: winter, spring, summer and autumn. Snow and hot, humid weather cannot kill the strawberry plant. Totally amazing strawberry plant. The tomato plants bear some fruits and we never harvest them. We have so many fresh tomatoes in our fridge. Give the tomatoes to our neighbors? They have tomato plants too. The zucchini plant that keeps on bearing vegetable zucchini had some soggy rotten sprout on it. It's okay, we already had harvested so many zucchinis from that plant. Thank you zucchini plant. Then the cucumber, no cucumber anymore but thankful that we had harvested more than a dozen from its plant.
I was thankful. I was blessed for whatever happening. The cool weather is much better than the hot, humid temperature of summer. I can adapt better to a cool, cold weather than a hell-hot weather. Now you know why Canadians received the carbon tax credit? It's because of the climate change that only few people can adapt to. Humans are humans and adaptation to certain climate is a matter of life and death. You want to have airconditioning unit at your home during the hell-hot summer with all the wildfires and smokes in your environment consider your hydro bill explodes. You are looking at $750 to $1,000/month hydro bill to breathe. Truth is Carbon Tax Credit is not enough. If you see Vin Diesel around you know you are in his Riddick planet.
