The flowers lost their flower bed, the roses missed their petals, no more bees humming around the sweet-scented flowers as they lost the fragrance. Weeds covered all over. This is how my garden looks like through the view of the window. 

 " Mother, I stepped on a big stone in the garden see my finger is cut and bleeding " 


I just barely heard the words of my brother and then at the same time I heard my father's voice. 


" Selena, I had said you thousand times to keep these books on this table, not on the rack, you hate books and just arrange them, I can't find them when I want."


He started to show his anger towards his mother in the early morning. Whole these days this was the scene inside my home I just began to think the reason for it...My mind starts to run back to the past.


" Christiana listens, you know I have experienced that when our garden is full of weeds and when it is not cleaned beautifully there are lots of battles inside the house and also things to begin start worse."


I just barely remembered those words my mother said when we were having chat in the kitchen with sipping our coffees. I just started to wonder how to solve all these...


I just started to walk down the path, dried brownish leaves were lying all over, the trees missing their leaves .... it's like an abandoned garden! I felt sympathy and I could not see these images from my eyes.


My tummy starts to growl with hungry worms but my mind urged me to be with my garden kit and tools. I ran to the storeroom and I took the garden tools and I went to the garden...I heard my mother was lamenting and weeping due to all the troubles were are facing but I did not run back to console her...


I just started to clean the flower beds by removing all the weeds through mamomty and I gave new life to all the anthurium and other flower plants. I saw them they just tried to smile at me...I felt no hunger, though I felt sweating, it made me happier than just relaxing with the mobile phone or any other activity...


I just planned to be with the garden in the morning hours since it made me cherish... My mother who was searching for me got astonished seeing me in the garden and she felt happy seeing all the Roses arranged in a flower bed some were near to bloom with fragrance. Weeks passed ...


The sun started to rise among the mountains and it glistened all over my garden and the flowers started to wake up with new fragrance, the smell attracted all over...the hummingbirds fly all over, the bees enjoying the nectar...Trees with new branches started to grow up...


What beautiful scenery, my effort won. I felt so happy...Gardening is an amazing hobby that makes you completely lost in a dream world with natural life. ..
