It's another wet weekend, chilly and gloomy. Rains had been slow and steady soaking wet since the past few days. Our backyard's appearance is quite a mess with leaves, twigs and barks, you name it, it is all scattered in our backyard being completely ignored for days now and needs a good clean up . I am just waiting for the ground to dry enough habitable again by humans so we could start a good clean up. I need to reserve a good bucketful of energy for that big clean up day. But, well, at least not just yet very soon for the forecast is more rains are expected in the next day and it will take more days before the ground gets dry again because it's winter. So, it's another days of waiting and lazying for me....
With weather like this, I rather stay inside the house and laze myself curl up in a warm bed with an engrossing book to read. Lunch wasn't such a problem for I still got nerves to cook mung bean with spinach despite of my lazy bones. I thought to make something warm to eat. A good warmer soup so to speak and so the mung bean soup suddenly popped out in mind. Glad I still had enough ingredients available for the soup when I checked it out. Thus, making it a lot easier for me.

They are called grass parrots, common throughout South-East Australia. They sometimes come to our front yard to have a feed in the grass like grass seeds or something. I was so quick to get this pic as they are wild and I had to zoom in my camera to get a closer pic.
not quite the end where the pot of gold lies..hehehe

We have 2 guava trees at our backyard and both are growing well that this time they have scores of fruit. Yes, we are flooded with ripe guavas. Some are big and some are teeny-weeny small. With the rains we had in the past days , it helped a lot of the fruits to ripen more quickly, crunchier and more juicy. Since we can't eat all of them, I am giving them to some friends in school and neighborhood. Give and eat more before the fruit flies and worms attack them shortly. This is the only way I could think of to get rid of them without wasting. I could not make them into something like guava jelly for I don't have much time to do it. Our dogs are eating them too and they take in-charge of the guavas within their reach which I am glad for I am sure many of them will be destined to the ground shortly. They like it as much as we do that every time we pick for our consumption and for friends they definitely beg to have some.
I didn't plant it. It was just part of the package when we bought the house. I was very glad the first time I saw it. They were not that big yet at that time but even so it gave us so many fruits that hubby was able to make few bottles of guava jelly during our first year here .
