Blooming Bilimbi's Flower at my tree
It's been a month my hubby and I taking care of small shop belongs to My Father in Law. The Shop is built at the other side of our small house, it used to be a back yard and garage. Right after My FIL left for doing the Hajj or pilgrimage journey, we decided to renovate the shop and faces so many obstacles while doing that.
I was shocking while I saw this in the morning, hubby has his own idea😂
He pounded the tiles and then re-arrange the floor. The shop was really in a mess😂 but I disagreed to close it during the renovation because many customers depend on our services everyday, beside they don't seem bothered by the situation.
well, finally something worth to step on😂 though it has not finished, yet
The regular customers predicted about My FIL reaction about the shop when he comes back next week😀 but I said nothing to worry about, I knew My FIL won't complaining as long as we still have walls to paint😂. My FIL will be 80 YO next January 8th, Insya Allah, and I think he really needs to relax and enjoy his day without worrying about the shop and customers anymore. He could take a nap anytime he wants and we will do the shopping for the shop too.
Abandoned Garden
I think that shaping this jasminum sambac shrubs is the first thing that My Fill will take care of once he gets home 😂
I can say that during the shop renovation and running it, we have no time to check on the front yard plants😔, I almost missed out the chance to see our yellow and orange four o'clocks flowers bloom, the red sweet potatoes digged out by the rats and dozens of my cattapas nut gone without a trace but I knew who has it. My begonia is dying, the white roses stem seems dying but the red roses getting taller, and surprise..surprise 😉 2 little flower buds appears on epiphyllum oxypetalum😍
I realise that I miss the big white scented flower which bloom at night, now
One thing that I can be sure of😄 the bilimbi tree is flowering and bear fruits again, which mean that I can make the candied sun-dried bilimbi😊
what a beautiful scene💖 I think I can pick more than a hundred fruits by the end of the month to make the candied bilimbi
I picked up 50 half ripen bilimbis, couple days ago. But ai forgot to process it after soaking it in salt😷 when I checked on it today, there nothing I can do to save it. What a waste 😢 50 bilimbis mean 200 grams of candied bilimbi that worth for $2. I forgot about it though I put it near to the dining table at the kitchen.
Candied Bilimbi?
I have made 5 serials posts about it in March this year, and not quite great posts at that time eventhough I wrote it in 3 languages, English, Indonesia and Achenese before. I still use facebook to promote steem and share my posts until today, facebook is reminding me about the process of making the candied bilimbi a year ago. Arrgghh it's been a year, how time flies and I need to save the bilimbis by candied it through a week processing.
this is a snap that I took from my facebook 5 consecutive days last year about the process of making candied sun-dried bilimbis
I'm thinking about to create another posts about the process when the fruits are ready. I wish that I could have more than 300 fruits to get 1 kilogram candied bilimbis for my friend😀 a loyal customer from Aceh, where bilimbi trees grow almost anywhere. Funny that I've never made this while I lived in Aceh before 😅
at least I have a new corner as my work place in the middle of the messy shop
There are many things that we need to handle in the shop before the returns of FIL on September 18th, only 4 days left and I don't know how can I support many of beautiful initiatives here on Steemit. I need to finish this task now😂
perhaps none coming for coffees while I worked on this pave
