Its been long I haven't greeted that here hiver friends. I had that break and it is because I am not chasing for a day anymore. Not counting the days to pass. Perhaps there is the contentment in my heart that I have found. But first, let me greet a Merry Christmas.
at home
The rawness and simplicity of the place I love the most got me in a good spirit. There is peace though life challenges is present.
Today I pick some flowers for the altar. My Tiya offered scissors for me to cut it when I ask to pick some of it down from there house by hand. She handed me the scissors since that flower stem is a bit hard.
I get a handful and tried to pick the ones with no black ants in them. I bet the dews of this flowers are sweet. There are parades of them. Spiders are also waving its web from one plant to another. I tried to let them be and asked some of them for the altar. I return the scissors and arrange it simply. I realize we have no vase in the house so I use the drinking glass. I might buy one in the future for my interest in foraging flowers. It bring happiness as I look at it.
In our yard, the pink rose of my sister is blooming after the rains. She is working far now and could not make it home for Christmas. I take photos of it and pm here with those. I know those inspires her, knowing her plants is growing and flowering. I hope it gives her comfort and hope.
In the afternoon, after taking a nap for long I decide to move and have some cleaning 🧹. After the chores, I am looking for some fish. Got to go down from the hill that we live by the stairs.
I take selfies and the rain pours. I get back to the house running. Have laughs with my mother since she said to me to bring the umbrella but I do not listen. I get the umbrella and back to the stairs again. The rain stops. My cousin 😂 have laughs since he see how the rains teases me today. I go on with the umbrella on hand.
I went for a fish and luckily a fish vendor came with some bolinao. Not the fish that my mother can eat but there is no choice today. Its Christmas and maybe fisherman is on holiday mood.
Bye. Until next time.
