With the Diwali festivities coming to an end, its time for a wee bit of B-R-E-A-K before the Joy of Christmas and the Year End reminiscing set the mood soaring high all over again.....
These last few days, post Diwali, I have been indulging myself in being SUPER Lazy n doing NOTHING!
...Nothing worthwhile that is; except lazing out in the garden, enjoying the winter-y balmy sun; watch the bees, the butterflies n the recently planted winter seasonal flowers (The Calendula, Marigolds, Verbena, Phlox, Poppy, Dianthus, Astor, Hollyhock, Petunias n Pansies, Nasturtiums n more..) grow stronger n taller by the day, before they begin to Bloom n more...
The Veggie patch (Mustard, Cauliflower, Cabbage, Raddish, Brinjals, Spinach, Chili’s n more…) is looking promising as well, provided we get to save the new plantation from the marauding monkeys, who visit our garden almost everyday creating H-A-V-O-C. Its a task to keep them at bay.
Well, Isn't it a beautiful time of the year as we ‘wait n watch’ the Garden Break into a Riot of Colours in the months to come?
Needless, to say, it’s my favorite time of the year, as I simply Love the winters n the months of October, November, December….as they quickly roll past heralding in a Brand New Year.
PS: Phew! I have a huge pile of work that needs immediate attention. PLUS, I still have to visit the Plant Nursery one more time to buy some Salvia’s n Dahlia’s n more….
PSS: ...N…Hmmm...… Need to resume my evening Walks n...
..Need to urgently Shrug-off this post festive Blues n Bliss… n the S-U-P-E-R Laziness that comes with it.

Dear Radhika, So many tasks and always so little time in which to complete them. It does seem that this time of year is one long celebration, but such fun nevertheless!!
Hi Radhika,
Sounds lovely to do nothing "except lazing out in the garden, enjoying the winter-y balmy sun . . . " I love your "winter" seasonal flowers! Beautiful sweet photos of your butterfly but I would enjoy seeing more of your monkeys! Do they eat or tear up your plants? Good luck with the pile of work. I hope you enjoyed the Diwali celebrations. ;>)
I love your photos of the butterfly; I think I may have seen this fleetingly in my garden, but not managed to photograph it; do you know what its name is. Lucky you enjoying such a nice sounding winter. Christina
