Notes to Avighna and Aashka

Sunday in NJ: Notes to Avighna and Aashka: Note 1

So, how are Sundays spent in NJ, USA? you may wonder!
Typically, we get up late. After finishing the daily routine of a shower and the like, we as usual fix ourselves some cereals and coffee. But, the day is not empty, as it is in India.

Weekend is about chores. We go grocery shopping, shopping for miscellaneous items of daily use, do our laundry and  ironing. (Typically, sashing clothes and ironing is a once a week affair for most). We also " weed the lawn", and basically do Garden maintenance. Of course , water the plants (The lawn and patio are quite large, so the watering should take 10 minutes approx).To make things easier,  We have a very long water hose. (Photograph below). It's nice and pleasant now, so plant watering is a thereaupeutic experience. We also have to invest in a lot of gardening paraphernalia,  and shop for gardening equipment.  Grass, fertilisers, insecticides, weed killers and seeds of specific flowers or plants which we want to grow. We have a manual sprinkler system, but many big houses with lawns have an automated sprinkler system with a timer based activation.

In the evening we chill off and relax,  catch a movie, or go out on a beach or someplace. We typically fix ourselves a light dinner. We sleep early, because for most people in US, the day starts at 5- 5:30 am.

Love you kids. Study well and remember me!
