Our first pomagranate fruits
Dear family & friends
Our very first pomagranate fruit harvest! Isn't that exciting?! We only got 3 fruits from this tiny tree! Hopefully, next year it will give us more. I'll talk to the tree and make a negotiation...for we want to try fresh pomagranate juice that is enjoyed in middle-eastern countries.

Another clear job ticked off
Dear Family & Friends
We finally managed to get a schedule for a tractor digger and a dump truck to clear out mounts of rubbles we have in the property. It took a full work day for the guy to finish the task...digging and dumping and we do appreciate all he did for us!
Just so much to do but we are getting there - one step at a time with God's help and grace. We enjoy working hard and as we tick jobs after jobs out of our long list - we feel accomplished and happy. May God be your daily strength in whatever good your hands finds to do too! Stay motivated for life is good. <3 Annie

Clearing out an outbuilding make-shift roof
Dear Family & Friends
We finally knocked down the make-shift metal sheet extension roof off this out building by the gate. It looks so much improved already - making the area more lighter and bigger! We have a few outbuildings/barns and it's time to think how we can make good use of them.

Colour your garden
Dear Family & Friends
This week is just perfectly cool and sunny (as always) fr gardening. I tend to work section by section of our garden space as time permits- otherwise it will be too much for me to tackle. With a jar full of flower seeds collected from the garden, I made a long line indention along every empty space with a hoe and bury the seeds in! By next year, when the weather warms up again, they will bear us hundreds and hundreds of beautiful flowers once again!

Mushroom rich healthy soil
Dear Family Friends
There so many mushrooms sprouting in my garden these days...I don't pick them becoz I'm not sure if they are edible. The presence of fungi is a good thing....it means we have a living soil to grow and produce good food.

A rain of blessings - walnuts!
Dear Family & Friends
Our enormous walnut tree is dropping nuts onto the ground everyday now. It's like a rain of blessings! All we have to do is to collect them. We never want to waste anything and so we keep collecting buckets and buckets full for me to keep 'cracking' in my free time! This year we remembered to also collect from the other lonely smaller walnut tree in our abandoned little land. Bonus!
Still no pro
This year we remembered to also collect from the other lonely smaller walnut tree in our abandoned little land. An extra bonus!

my organic garden video
Dear Family & Friends
I want to share with you a video I made of our organic garden for the first time - I struggled a bit - but my genius girl said 'Mummy you HAVE to learn...' With a little help, I did!
