Girl with the green thumb.

My Mother-in-law,M, is very good at gardening, she has got a lot of flowers and other plants in her garden. She knows almost everything about watering, fertilizing and the season in which the seeds or stems are to be planted. On the contrary, I don't know anything about gardening, making me a bad at it. The main reason why I don't have a green thumb is - I don't stay at a place for more than six months. So naturally, I cannot plant anything, water it and fertilize it to see it grow into a big tree. After one or two months of hardwork from my side, the plant grows healthy and then I have to leave the place. The plant dies. I'm ashamed to admit that there isn't any tree on planet earth that I have planted. May be, one day, when I get settled somewhere, I'll grow so many trees around my place, Insha Allah.

Caressing the plants.

I don't know yet how Aisha is. But she loves the green. She feels the flowers (sometimes pluck them) and leaves in our garden. She loves to see the bees and butterflies that visits the flowers, and calls them by a beckoning gesture with her hand. Aisha loves to see the palm leaves dance in the breeze. She stares the leaves shivering in the wind.
When M comes to water the plants, she joins her. The end will be a fully drenched girl if I allow her to continue watering. With the fever recurring almost every week, I'm afraid to give her the complete administration of watering the plants.
