OCD's support is expanding!

Hello everyone! This is the 1035th compilation post of OCD's latest curation efforts. It has been known that OCD has been supporting leading niche communities under its Community Incubation Program. However, there are still a lot of other niche communities not supported by OCD. This curation initiative will help in supporting those communities.

This newest curation effort aims to encourage authors to post in appropriate communities even if those communities are not under the incubation program. This will also encourage users to explore more into the different communities in Hive.

OCD curators and community leaders will find posts from other niche communities and recommend them for an upvote. Unlike those communities in the incubation program where curation is focused, this curation initiative is spread out. This will help find undervalued posts from smaller communities that deserve support.

This will highlight both the author and the community where the post is located. This way, smaller niche communities can focus on growing their subscribers and increasing the engagements within their respective communities. A small boost goes a long way.

Speaking of boost, here are the curated posts for this batch:

A few days ago I wanted to make a cute jeans bag, on Sunday I set aside some time to do it using some scraps that are never missing from our things, I know that the friends who sew know very well what I am talking about hehe!😃. Whenever I had the opportunity, I would make a jean bag or any other fabric, the truth is that I love making them, I think it's one of the things I love making the most, a bag was never missing at home but unfortunately they suffered the same fate as this one , suddenly someone came to my house, fell in love with my bag and I ended up giving it to them, hehe!😁. When I finished this bag, my mother-in-law liked it a lot and as usual I ended up giving it as a gift😃😂. These bags are very useful and we can carry our personal things when going out. So if you like this project, I invite you to follow me in this procedure until the end.

Happy day and beginning of the week, this is my first publication in this community and I come with great joy to share my first experience with planting, I am Ana Maria from Venezuela and for a long time I wanted to put hands to the land, so you know a little about me I will tell you about my ancestors specifically my grandmothers they were farmers and of course both had to plant and harvest many fruits and vegetables that they consumed, I have beautiful memories of the work that my grandmother Ana did in her yard and thanks to that we got to eat pineapple, corn, onion, cilantro, chili, among others, in addition to its ornamental plants, medicinal and beautiful flowers of roses and sunflowers, my mother followed this custom and has always been in love with medicinal plants sowing oregano, malojillo, mint, mint, good grass and also plants to decorate the house as the jades.

Life is a journey that is accompanied by many opportunities, experiences, and also by many and very diverse feelings. We always go through moments full of emotions such as joy, and triumphs, but also difficult situations full of setbacks that test us in terms of our ability to resolve or otherwise stagnate.

There are only a few hours left for Valentine's Day and I have started thinking about friendship. I confess that as I write my eyes are moistening because that unique feeling, that immeasurable and faithful love like no other has just knocked on the door of my memories once again. In reality, there is not a single day that she does not visit me.

Happy day my friends, it's a pleasure to be on @weekend-Experiences and to be able to share with everyone one of the activities I did over the weekend. Yesterday, Sunday, we went to spend a wonderful day in one of my favorite places in the world, the mountains. In Venezuela we have the Waraira Repano National Park, mostly known as El Avila. This great mountain is a Venezuelan national park, I had exactly one year without visiting it, while I was out of my country I missed it very much, you can imagine my excitement to be back to my favorite place, the day was simply spectacular.

It was a sunny afternoon decided to go out of our house to enjoy Mr. Sun and see how my plants were; my schedule has been hectic this week that I haven't monitored all our ornamental and flowering plants at home; going near them, I can see they're enjoying the sun's rays, at the same time bit worried about its overflowing rays; might experience drought if it won't rain or I forget to water them. 😁 Not only that, I have some reflections about life and beyond.

Last Sunday morning the weather was calm after one and a half months of heavy rain. My husband and I visited our adjacent barangay to see our small land field. We rode our motorcycle for about more or less 20 minutes from our house. This field was planted with peanuts and mangoes in my last blog. But presently, it was already barren. However, we planted dwarf coconuts along the border or boundary. We've grown nearly 30 dwarf coconut saplings. We intend to add more, so we requested a farm worker who was skilled in clearing the area by pulling weeds, pruning bushes and tall grasses, boring holes, and adding organic manure or compost before planting the coconut seedlings. We chose this coconut variety since it will bear- fruit for 3 to 5 years. We enjoy eating fresh coconut, so owning a plantation is beneficial. We also intend to harrow this field to plant root crops such as camote and cassava.

Penny Lane is the name of one of the most famous songs in the history of music and universal culture of the last 70 years or more. Originally written by Paul McCartney and also attributed to John Lennon, both founding members of The Beatles and co-inhabitants of that emblematic place in the city of Liverpool, in England, UK; it is still remembered for a lot of incredible curiosities that I wanted to reveal and detail for you, my friends of Hive. Besides, I declare myself an incorrigible fan of this English band and just today, February 14th but 1967, it was presented to the world together with "Strawberry Field Forever", in a release as a promotional single for the world.

Many of us like plants and flowers, there are those who are lucky enough to even have a small garden or orchard, some of us are working on it, we are having more and more plants and pots to create a dreamy future green environment and thus enjoy the nature at home too.

But not everything is inside the house, but also outside, and on the terrace when I came to live here they had left some pots there in the open air with some plants, but they seemed neglected and some were dead. So in the end I decided to throw some away but I left two of them in the hope that they would resurface, although I haven't really done much since.

So, on February 12, 2023, my boyfriend and I headed to SM Megamall to explore a sport that neither of us had planned to play this year. To be honest, we seldom plan trips since most of the time, our ideas become into sketches, but this time, we made it happen and I am really delighted because I can sense my partner's eagerness to continue our leisurely walk that day given that we also celebrated our monthsary on Saturday.

This concludes this batch's curation report. We would like to congratulate those who are featured and supported. Keep up the good work and continue to explore Hive Communities.
