It's so refreshing to go out with my toddler because the wind is so strong here, and it's not too hot because the weather has begun to drizzle. I'm glad when the sun comes out because it allows me to take my child outside to play, but when it starts to drizzle, we quickly return inside, haha.

While my son and I were walking and singing, I noticed a large mushroom growing on the cotton fruit tree. It wasn't there yesterday or I just didn't see it. But this morning it's already big.

So I went to the side of the house and found the guyabano tree. I noticed small mushrooms growing on its tree. I was amazed to learn that small mushrooms can grow even when the guyabano is alive and bearing fruit. I thought mushrooms only grew on dead trees or wood that had been standing for a long time, but our guyabano is producing fruit. Also, it seems this mushroom is no longer growing anymore because the ones next to it are turning brown, only a lot are growing.

Then, on the other dead tree, I noticed a cluster of brown mushrooms. This tree has been here for a long time but hasn't fallen down. I'll use it for firewood when we have a fireplace because for now we only use a butane. It's just stay here for now. Maybe another mushroom will grow here the next day, haha. ✌🏻😁

the expansive rice fields surrounding our home, hehe, and the wind is particularly fierce today. However, my son and I are happy to see this lush greenery outside.

The shy plant grows here everywhere, but this is the only flower I saw on the bank of my father's rice field.

I went down to the rice field because I saw a lot of insects, but they were small, so I walked along the embankment, and I saw a spider in the rice field eating a dead grasshopper. It was very difficult and took me a long time to capture it because the wind was so strong, and every time I took a picture, the spider's house moved so my cellphone wouldn't focus. Hahha. I couldn't touch it because it might jump, but after a while of waiting for the right moment I was able to photograph it.

This little orange bug in the rice field is something I would like to photograph. In fact, there are a lot of them — not just bugs, but other tiny insects as well—and they move swiftly up and down the rice plant. because something white is growing on the outside of the rice, indicating that grains are beginning to form. These are the times when a lot of insects arrive, but the wind makes it difficult to focus my camera on them, so I give up and head home. Haha, lol.

That's all for today, and I just want to say Thankyou for your unwavering support of my post. Peace and love. 🫶🏻
