| Our Tulsi plants are happy and blooming - Ocimum tenuiflorum |
The rain is magical - it makes every plant kind of perk up like nothing else. And that is true of all my ten and a half balcony pots. No wonder that the monsoon makes the artist in us wax lyrical.
To my delight, the rains have brought the flowers and fresh leaves as well to my tulsi pots. For some reason, these tulsi flowers transport me to the Valley of Flowers, the valley floor filled with green and wild flowers. The last few days, the weather has also been like that - ok I'm imagining yes (I hope Sriram doesn't read this) - cloudy, with a cool breeze, and rain.
The rains have also brought a mouse to the house. It feasted on the plentiful supply of bananas and melon seeds that i had carelessly left on my kitchen counter, and has decided not to leave, Last two nights it has neatly eaten the coconut in the mouse trap and gone. Tom and Jerry games await, with me being Tom I think.
