Good day hivers! I haven't posted for a while and had to reconnect with nature and had been destressing from the current events.
So I started the day with an exercise. I walked from my house to the meeting area with @xykorlz. We planned to jog around, but then I saw a group having their Zumba exercise, so I left him jogging and joined the group.馃榿 (Here's a video he took when he rested. You know the song Take on me by A-ha, that's it.馃槅)
Then, we went to Mcdonald's to buy our breakfast and headed to their farm at Tinagacan. It is in between Katanggawan and Malungon.
Barangay Tinagacan was then a haven wild animals such as pigs, deer, monkeys and a paradise to many bird species like the extinct Kalaw. The present barangay poblacion (Purok 1, 2 & 3) however, has a second growth forest composed mostly of talongon (Dadiangas ) trees, which was earlier mentioned as a grazing land for cattle.

Building a farm is quite difficult. It takes dedication, passion, perseverance and patience to attain the farm you dream of.
Calamansi is very common here in Philippines. We make a lemondae out of it, put it in our dips, adds it on meats for marinate and even rub it on our skin to lighten skintone.
We also tried planting lemon and just looking by the picture, it's thriving and even have big fruits!
This cutie patootie snoopy knew I would take her a picture and made a cute face. She had been a good farm-guard dog.
This little worm here was kinda cute and amusing to look at. This is the first time I saw one of these.馃槄 Mostly they look
This farm is not limited only to citrus plants. Cacao has been planted too, but due to financial constraints, maintenance on them is limited and we haven't had any resources to make it better like harvesting its fruits and trying to make chocolate.
While we were eating our breakfast we ordered, we've come to realize the peace the nature brings. Where there is calm, breeze is a mix of warm and cold, your eyes are relaxed with all the green scenery, and your heart is full. Once we get back to the city, we will be hustling and grinding our teeths again.
