Good day steemit friends and homesteaders! A very hot sunny day today, much hotter inside my warehouse, you can felt the heat coming from up to the tin roofing, even its like 30 feet high.
My usual set up, open and checked the warehouse. Then, took some picture with these small citrus caterpillar at the side of our house. Its my entry to a photography contest by Mr. Amazing
.
The caterpillars almost consumes the citrus leaves, well they really need to eat a lot first, before morphing to a beautiful butterfly.
After that, i helped imee (my wife) to shovel soil, she's planning to plant some eggplant at that plot.
Now, on to work at warehouse. We receive a delivery of Belo products, i assisted the deliveries, since i have to check the expiration dates, and give instruction where it will be place.
I must be sure, that the FIFO (first in first out) rules applies here. My old stocks dated june 2020, new stocks dated august 2020.
Took a selfie here, sweats all over my face and body, its surely getting hotter inside the warehouse.
That delivery boy, sure know how to take a good posing.
Sweats all over his shirt, this is really a hard work, but its good for our health, to sweat and have exercise.
Take a minute break here, a selfie while eating corn.
This two wheel cart, really does a big help in this kind of work.
Delivery of Belo products is done!
Back to imee's planting project. I have to cultivate the soil, and arranged many stones at the side to supress the soil.
Oùr menu for lunch today, is sauted bitter melon with egg. Its a simply common food, but very healthy to eat.
