::over::

the weather finally cleared up after many days of rain and wind...  you got to spend a brief  moment in your garden to check out your flowers and plants today. you haven't been out there for days or at least a week due to the depressing autumny weather lately.

 roses are red and about to come to full bloom

 the spinach that you planted since march is about time to harvest

 the lovely poppies are now bended and no longer can stand straight up after the stormy weather, but they have not lose their charm, you're still deeply in love with them.

and today you opt for a cold dish meal, a sea coral kerabu, a sort of malay style salad lightly pickled in sweet and sour sauce...

and needless to say, a glass of mint syrup frizzy drink to finish it off...
you hope the dry and better weather will stay from now on, it's already mid may.  the mother nature should already warm up to it!
