Elephant Ears

I am not really sure of the name of this plant here in the US but in the Philippines, we call this Gabi or Taro.  I heard somebody call this elephant ears plant over here. Over  in my country, we ate this as vegetable but over here, they plant is as ornamental.  The shape of it's leaves looks like a heart.  I bought this at the oriental store for me to cook but then I forgot and it grew so I planted it.  I brought it inside the house so it won't die from cold outside.

  

MeerKat

I used to watch the documentary videos on TV about the Meerkats.  I am fascinated about their intellect and instinct for survival.  When we went to Pittsburgh Zoo, I  saw some of them and they were so cute.

It comes in all Shapes

Happiness to children comes in all shapes and sizes. It could be just a teeny weeny thing and yet it makes them crack up.  I don't believe in giving everything to a child will make them happy.  Even though you fill their room with expensive toys,  they won't be totally happy because they still need our TLC.  TLC comes in  different  measures too, some give  a lot and some just a little.

You can  see the happiness of the children in their eyes, their smiles and the way they interact with people.  They are real because they don't   lie when it comes to expressing how they feel.  So let's give our children a lotta love everyday, they will remember it for the rest of their lives.  It might not matter to you but spending a lot of time with them  matters  and   bring a huge impact to their development. 

Grinny

Dad has a squirrel pet that comes and visit him everyday in his front porch.  He bought a big bag of peanut and  has been feeding him since.  He calls him Grinny because he is always grinning lol.. Mr. Grinny is spoiled already because he does not want to eat other nuts but peanut.  

Wreath

Daughter's creativity is expanding each day.  We went to visit  Dad the other week and she did the wreath above.  She cut out  the middle part of the  paper plate and then  picked some leaves and flower  outside, then she glued it  around.  Poor Dad, he was forced to display it in his door lol..
