Cool & Legged Escape: Weekend Garden Walk With My Teens

Garden Walk With My Teens
Greetings everyone! There are times when we are in the mood for walks. It is a good form of exercise anyway when we can think a lot of things and discover little sweet nothings as we go on. We can notice little details which we wouldn't mind when days have been quite fast meeting the day's demand.
Another month had passed and we are already in the third month for this year. Spring is waving ahead. And sunnier days are also waving in the many countries in Asia. After a few days of being away from Hive, I am happy to be back especially @asean.hive which feels like our home. This time I am going share my teen's garden walk, which they obviously enjoy and got me exhausted. As always, teens would never run out of energy, such energy we moms used to have, right? I hope you will join me until the end of this blog. And may this post merit your warm support as I go on with my Hive journey.
This day was a good day to be at the mountain to visit a garden spot. A moment to forget the always filled laundry basket nor the next menu a mom should prepare in the kitchen. The weather was totally cooler, a good time to spend outdoors. This time we chose to smell the flowers and get wrapped with their blanket of hues.
Son climbing up the top spot feeling the cooler breeze embracing the Bali feels.
A daughter's spot to Pray, Forgive, Love with that sweet smile.
This time, a "Bali feels" with their childhood friend for fourteen years and
counting๐.
This garden is quite vast with a lot of going down and going up steps. Taking our kids to this spot would surely exhaust them overtime and will surely put them into a deep sleep, and so as with the young at heart๐๐
The sweet smile of this beautiful unica hija as the most precious flower on top of those pretty and colorful blooms๐๐
How great it is to be young! Carefree and of a pure heart.
The shape and it's bright color invited us to take a closer look.
"Solanum mammosum, commonly known as nipplefruit,[1] fox head,[2] cow's udder, or apple of Sodom, is an inedible Pan-American tropical fruit.[3] The plant is grown for ornamental purposes, in part because of the distal end of the fruit's resemblance to a human breast, while the proximal end looks like a cow's udder."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solanum_mammosum
Though it was so inviting that we took a closer look, good thing was that we were never tempted to touch or hold it since we only knew about it when we reached home that it is inedible. It could have a substance that might be toxic to humans. Sometimes, by just using our eyes to feed our curiousity would pay a lot, right?๐
Finally, you can see me now in the picture. The truth is, we moms love to capture photos of moments to be stored in our memory bank that oftentimes we are not seen in those captures. But it's alright. Moms are wired to be so giving and supportive for all the right cause. Am I right?๐๐
And upon wrapping this up, let me give you this far ahead shot capturing another mountain to climb. Should we be heading there next time? Why not when we get the chance, right?๐๐

The place truly offers a mesmerizing display of nature's color. I visited 2 years ago, and the breathtaking views really amazed me ๐
Hellooo @gretelarmfeg ....how are you? It's been a long time. Yeah, a sheet of various colors is enough to make us say that a paradise still exists somewhere nearby๐. Thank you for swinging by...
I'm good ๐ I've been busy lately because my son was here with us for a short vacation I have to spend more time with him โค๏ธ Yeah, the area with the heart formed full of flowers, is it still there?
The garden looks very beautiful and relaxing with all this greenery, flowers and trees. Nice to read that you have spent there a nice time together with your family!
Hello @gen-quimba. I am happy to have you swinging by. Yes, I take my teens somewhere when I can on weekends as their breather after a week of academics and sports. And for this one, I was totally exhausted with all those up and down steps๐, but not them๐ . It's truly good to be be young like them so full of energy๐. Thank you for swinging by friend๐
@nicolebanilad love the place๐ the view was so nice. Very relaxing. It was a beautiful place to relax and unwind. Sometimes when everything was heavy and tiring I visit parts and botanical Gardens because it gave me good moodโค
Hello! Same here, a garden is truly a good mood booster. It seems like the flowers and leaves are communicating with us and imparting to us their energy and serenity. And to top of it, the various colors seem to wrap us up with all their warmth and love.๐๐

Kids do grow up fast. As for me it only feels like a year since my wife and I got married but I realized our eldest is turning 11 this year. Time flies! Good thing we have phones and getting pictures is handy to store lovely memories
