About Me

I am married to my loving husband for more than 45 years now. I am a mother to 3 beautiful children, until years ago when I lost my youngest son. Since then my life is forever altered but yet unbroken....

The fruit trees are flowering...

“Stop wearing your wishbone where your backbone ought to be…”- Elizabeth Gilbert
(My uniform in the kebun)

That day after a hard-day’s work cutting and getting rid of creepers and wild vines that have pulled down some parts of the fence around the kebun, we rested under our favorite durian tree and noticed small buds coming out of the branches. A few weeks later, we saw flowers blooming from the branches of the other durian trees. The rambutan and dokong trees are flowering too.

(Durian)
(Rambutan)
(Dokong)

My heart jumped with joy!

I am looking forward to harvesting those sweet durians, juicy rambutans and tasty dokong. Yeah!

  9. Kakpah,
    Memang seronok masa musim durian. When the harvest is good, satu kampung dapat merasa. Yang lebih buat lempok & tempoyak.

    Bunga Rampai,
    Bila durian berbuah, Kena berhati2. Lalu bawah pokok kena pakai payung :)

  12. Hello Nong, okay, saya datang, ya?
    Your first photo thought you on safari in Africa, ha ha.
    How wonderful to have a kebun ada durians and rambutans.

    'Hello MAS....I want a return ticket to Kuala Lumpur...?
    Huh? No more seats"?
    MAS, "sorry sir, durian season, fully booked".

    Ha ha, you keep well and watch out for the mosquitos, have fun, Lee.

  14. Lee,
    You are most welcome :)

    In the dusun, I tak tahan the mosquitoes. Luckily no leeches! If it is the safari in Africa, I would be holding a rifle…

    Anie,
    Emak kak nong pun ada cerita pasal bunga durian tu. Dia kata kalau masak lemak pun sedap. Nanti weekend ni nak try kutip...

    Ada juga angan2 nak tanam pokok mata kuching tu, mana lah tau ada rezeki anak cucu nanti he he…

  18. Ini kali pertama nak bagi komen sebab baru jumpa blog ni hari ini.
    Sebenarnya mempunyai dusun dan duduk di kawasan hijau adalah impian saya tapi belum dapat lagi.
    Suka sangat tengok gambar2 bunga2 buah-buahan tu. Subhanallah Maha Suci Allah!

  19. Lee,
    One place that I have not been is Canada, with millions of beautiful lakes. God willing, one day I will.

    Congratulations! Tell the wife to take care ye…

    I am excited too for I’ll be having my first grandchild by year end. Hu hu… Must tell hubby that he is sleeping with a grand-ma-to-be, I am feeling old already…

    Ummu,
    Salam, Masa muda2 dulu tak terfikir pulak hendak berkebun dan berdusun. Tapi bila usia meningkat dan anak2 dah besar2 terasa pulak hendak melarikan diri dari kesibukan bandar ini.

    Alhamdulillah, dengan tanah sekangkang kera ini dapat kami bersunyi2 dan merehat diri!
