It has been raining a lot, on and off, comes and go, but on and on for so long. It's so much cooler than the the extreme heat that we experience at times here, it's nice. I don't miss the humidity and the heat. The garden looks green and healthy and I barely need to to effort to water the plants. I love taking pictures of the Periwinkles with the raindrops on them, they look pretty.

31 October 2011
It's the end of October folks, right at the very end and we only two months left before we enter a new year. It's so surreal, it has so fast. Too fast for me to absorb and enjoy. Days in October have been typically, "have them all". There was sun, there was rain, there was clear sky and followed by the rain again. They could be in any orders, but most of the time we had them all in one day, many of days this month.
We had a gorgeous morning, the sun rose behind Marina Bay Sands and gave me a lovely photograph, a different beauty than other mornings. The sun shone strongly throughout the morning and I wanted to have some pictures that are bright and happy on my last post of the month.
The periwinkles looked so enchanting and the basil leaves appeared so healthy. But unexpectedly the strong wind came, blew away all the papers on the table as my doors were opened. The cloud thickened and the sky turned darker and grew darker that I had to turn on the light in my study area. Then came the rain, a very heavy rain. And on for a while.
There were no traces of cheerful morning and sunshine. I looked out there and everything looked so black and white, and grey. Everything was wet. Til hours later, the sky was clear again, the sun came out and it was hot all over. Like it never rained before.
Tomorrow will be a new day and a new month! Expect the unexpected. Or maybe just go with the flow .... Hello November!

It was a nice surprise to see a white periwinkle blooming in the garden. I did not have it before and gladly welcome the nice addition.

Purple Periwinkle
In the picture, these purple periwinkle flower looks like very dark pink, but I can assure you that it is purple indeed. These are from the potted ones that we bought last week. They survive, but sadly, I can't say the same thing about the red ones. I'm glad I had some pictures taken. I really like the whitish spot in the center, I might go back to the same nursery and get another one...... ??? Temptation.....uh-oh....

Can't Resist....
It's Lenten, folks. If I were to give up buying plants, it would be a grand failure. So far, I have been good in keeping myself away from Coffee and Beef. Despite telling myself that I should not have more plants, as the existing ones have taken much of my time, I keep on failing from keeping myself away from doing it. We went to a few nurseries to get bigger pots for the plants that had outgrown their space and getting some bags of soils. They were done, we got them. We, however, also got ourselves more plants. Three of them to be precise. The reason why the above periwinkle was chosen is that I want more variety of colors in our garden. That's a very valid reason, I suppose.
