Wet Wet Wet... not the band, but the weather

 
Pics taken before 8 this morning. It has been raining every evening for a week now, and has rained non-stop since 10 last night until early morning. Our lawn now looks like a big pool, but Alhamdulillah as the rain stopped this morning, the water began to recede... about half the lawn is still covered with water but nonetheless it has receded.

The sky looked gloomy at 8 am and looked the same even at 6pm. It rained a bit at 8pm but only for a short while, and I hope it stays that way overnight. I pity those people in low lying areas - hope it will improve for u guys.

More visitor.... arachnovisitor

Pic taken early this week... I hope it's not poisonous, but am not taking any chances and locked all the windows and doors heheh.

Hari Raya Final Preparations (delayed update hehe)

A well travelled friend got us this seeds from his travel down under. We planted it a couple of days before Raya, and in a week it started to grow.

This is our flower planter near the entrance which, yes, we finally managed to plant something just a couple of days before Raya. Total spent... $30 for 5 pots of plants and 7 bags of black soil. Efforts? Priceless heheheh

Our three kids 'helped'

Another shot of the planter, with the three different coloured flowers - pink, white and blue. Oh, don't ask what flowers are they, cos we have no idea heheh  The flowers are Petunia (thanks Cuz Zulida). I'll probably (probably!) plant some more as borders to the driveway as I love to see the flowers bloom EVERY DAY

There they are again
