It was always a beautiful sunny day and it’s time to relax and enjoy myself at this terrific place called park. I took a seat on that wooden bench for a couple of times. It’s cool while you are sitting there and take some time to look at those flowers and birds feeding off things grown in the garden. Yeah, it’s really relaxing and it can even change your emotional state. When I’m in the parks or gardens, it means I’m close to nature and plants and in my own experienced they can give me a peaceful feeling. That’s why, I’m dreaming of someday i’ll be having my own beautiful garden of flowers, vegetables, herbs and other medicinal plants. I want gardening to be a daily part of my life with that wooden bench I’m happy to sit with my husband and little tykes.

In life, there are times you would feel so emotional and passionate of something. You have lots of ideas in mind, dreams, and memories. Every time I miss something, I’m always trying to open my database of pictures. I have lots of hard disks and external hard drives which mainly collection of movies. Aside from this, it takes a bit longer to load the huge collection of photos. And then right after I found them, I look at them thoroughly. I learn to appreciate and love more the things that interest me. Sometimes there are photos that brought tears to my eyes, sometimes it’s sad, and yet beautiful. Oh, how I miss taking photographs?

Pot marigold, also known by its scientific name Calendula officinalis. When I first heard about the name Pot Marigold, I thought that they are plants that are commonly grown in pots. But the name actually came from one of their many uses in food. This edible flower was called a “pot herb” and was tossed into the stew or vegetable pot.

I also heard that when special someone gave you Marigold, it symbolizes their everlasting love to you. I love the color of the Marigold while in fact they bloom all year round.

Pot marigold is used as an skin healer (including mild burns as well as sunburn), antiseptic, cleanser, and detoxifier. It also has antibacterial, antifungal, and anti-inflammatory properties.
