Although autumn‘s been around for a couple of weeks …
We haven’t officially experienced fall climate until this week!
Meanwhile, I’m enjoying GOD‘s lush greenery while it still lasts!

and my fave fall flave:
Pumpkin Spice Latte!

Spice … Ice … Nice … Is this a vice?
& to top it off to make it all nice:
Pair with a Pumpkin Scone

During my bday vacay last week, I visited a home that is among my fondest memories:
my beloved soon-to-be (in 2½ weeks) Birthday Girl aunt’s estate!
Not only am I a fan, but apparently and rightfully so, her community also is as well because both
in ☼The Baltimore Sun☼
The highlight of my stay was when I sat in my Tita Fe‘s gourmet kitchen with Mami Aya, her siblings and their spouses ~ during which my MD aunts and uncles, who included
- Tita Fe & Tito Rudy (my mom’s oldest sister and her husband)
- Tito Robert & Tita Yollie (my mom’s youngest brother & his wife)
each endorsed me for my PhD ~ providing their sound advice that I’ll take with me as I progress toward my doctoral dissertation defense.
4:44 ~ make a Bday/BTS wish!!! ✌

What do you think of Pope Francis‘ Laudato Si environmental encyclical?
Praise Be His creation!
I’m taking full advantage of taking care of my share of †GOD’s† ☼creations☼ and creatures this weekend!
Following a long week filled with grading speeches and continuing my doctoral dissertation data processing, I beat the heat before today’s rain hit to tend to the garden.
St. Francis of Assisi ~ the Patron Saint of Animals ~ welcomes GOD’s creatures into this Garden of Creation!
In bloom …
Fully blossomed!
To yours truly, gardening is very therapeutic…
And to my fine, furry friends, this gives them a chance to peer into the great outdoors!

Remember my student’s science fair project about ♫music♪ effect on plants?
Science Project Poster: an elementary eye candy version of the presentations that I teach and the research experiment that I’m conducting!
I still have his yellow hibiscus that went without ♪music♫ in the experiment.
Now that we’ve entered ♣spring♣, this hibiscus can soak in the ☼sunshine☼, bloom and blossom!
Today, we had a hail storm hit, but I didn’t have much notice to remove it …
Before … Will my hibiscus withhold this hail storm??
At least this fortunate flower’s still in tact in the aftermath of this April shower!
After … YES, indeed, she did survive without withering!!!
Friendly reminder: Earth Day is on April 22nd!

Yesterday, my student who I tutor and I went shopping for plants!
I want to emphasize to my pupil and all of my students the importance of maximizing their full potential.
These are the flowers that he picked out!
Hibiscus in the (green)house!
We need this vegetation for his science project …
Hibiscus Red for ♪♫Pop♫♪
… Which is to determine the effect of ♫♪music♪♫ on plant growth!
Hibiscus Mandarin for ♪♫Hip Hop♫♪
He picked the hibiscus because they’re barely growing, so they have yet to bloom and blossom, plus their petals will look beautiful in hair!
Hibiscus ☼Sunny☼ sans ♪♫jams♫♪
