Colourful entrance

Some houses kat OZ ni a bit pelik sikit.

We use the kitchen door untuk keluar masuk dari rumah instead of the front door.

Sebab selalunya pintu dapur ni betul2 bertembung dengan garage.

So, bila dah park kereta kat garage, terus lah masuk rumah through the kitchen door kan instead of pusing keluar balik untuk pergi kefront door.

Jadi, the front door and the area from outside leading to the main door ni kadang2 a bit neglected sebab tak ditengok hari2.

(Especially in our house lah. I selalu terlupa nak sapu sawang and sapu the outdoor area kat depan front door tu.).

Bila ada tetamu nak datang or nak buat open house, baru lah kelam kabut nak mencantikkan aka menyapu daun2 and sawang around the area.

And since sekarang tengah nak masuk Spring, we all pun mencantikkan by putting pots of flowers lah.

At the end is Miss 8’s phlox yang keeps on flowering. At first nampak macam serabut aje but bila tengok dua tiga kali, nampak cantik pulak letak depan pintu tu.

Next to it, the lavender I bought last week, then a couple of gerberas.

Then the poinsettia, followed by the really small english lavender which I finally found.

The gerberas, poinsettia and the english lavender I beli at the Sunday Market semalam.

Pergi Sunday market sebab nak beli pandan untuk menggantikan pandan I yang dah go to pandan heaven (sob sob ) tapi pandan tak jumpa, jumpa all these other flowers, hehehe….

And the last one at the end are the pansies.

The poinsettia. I think people plant poinsettias ni not for the flowers but for the colourful leaves which are called bracts.

I said to The Other Half, kalau letak lavenders kat depan pintu, nanti penuh lah bees kat depan pintu and susah lah orang nak jalan ketuk pintu.

He said, “that’s the idea, it will deter salespeople to come knocking at our door!”.

Hikhikhikhikhik….brilliant .
