Sunrise Serenade: When the Birds and Crickets Put on a Show

So, you’re waking up to the sweet, sweet sounds of nature’s orchestra? Birds chirping like they’re auditioning for the next big opera, crickets doing their best to rival a symphony?

Yep, that’s the morning symphony of the land, folks.
Let’s be honest, sometimes the birds sound more like they’re having a squabble than a concert, and the crickets can get a little… intense. But hey, it’s a reminder that the world is up and at ’em, even if you’re still hitting the snooze button.

And let’s not forget the divine intervention here. God bless this land, indeed! After all, who else could orchestrate such a chaotic, yet oddly beautiful, morning chorus?

Psalm 37

3 Trust in the Lord and do good;
dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture.

4 Take delight in the Lord,
and he will give you the desires of your heart.

Cluck, Cluck, Hooray! Freshmen and Fowl in the Mansion

Welcome, dear readers, to the grand spectacle of life where chickens, pabos and freshmen 
collide in a delightful dance of chaos! Picture this: a stately bamboo mansion, once the abode of the big white dignitary, now bustling with the sounds of peeping chicks and the excited chatter of wide-eyed newcomers.

The Great Pabo Hatch-Off

First up, let’s talk about our feathered friends. Did you know that a chicklet can take up to 24 hours to fully hatch? That’s right! It’s like the ultimate slow reveal, but instead of a dramatic entrance, you get a fluffy ball of yellow fluff. Here’s how it goes down:

  1. Egg-citing Beginnings: The eggs are nestled under their cozy Pabo hen, turning them daily like they’re on a spa retreat.
  2. Peep Show: After about 21 days, the little ones start to peep, encouraging their still-snoozing siblings to join the party.
  3. Hatch Day: Finally, the moment arrives! Out pops a chick, ready to take on the world—or at least the enclosure.

Freshmen Take the Mansion

Now, let’s not forget our new freshmen! They’ve arrived at the mansion, probably thinking they’re stepping into a scene from a gothic novel. Instead, they find themselves in a lively hub of activity, where the only ghosts are the ones in their eaten friends.

  • Exploration Time: Freshmen are given the grand tour, complete with tales of the mansion’s history and maybe a few ghost stories to keep things interesting.
  • Towering Ambitions: They scamper up to the tower for a view that’s more breathtaking than their first midterm exam results.
  • Making Friends: Just like our chicks, they’re hatching new friendships, peeping out for their next adventure.

The Clucking Conclusion

So, whether you’re a chick breaking free from your shell or a freshman breaking into the world of higher education, remember: life is all about new beginnings. Embrace the chaos, enjoy the peeps, and don’t forget to have a little fun along the way! After all, in this mansion, it’s not just about the history—it’s about the stories we create, one hatch and one friendship at a time! 🐣🎉

Now, what’s your favorite part of this delightful chaos?

Farm Life Update: A Day of Hard Work and New Friends!

Hey there, farm enthusiasts! 🌾 Today was a bustling day on the farm, filled with chores, challenges, and a sprinkle of excitement. Here’s a quick rundown of what went down!

Herbicide Spraying and Coconut Replanting

  • We kicked off the day by spraying herbicides in the Hybrid Sections and along the West Barangay Road Section.
  • Unfortunately, we lost quite a few coconut trees to pesky rats! 🐀 But don’t worry; we’re on it! Next week, we’ll be deploying rat poison to tackle the problem head-on.
  • Replanting will commence where needed, and we’ll also be fertilizing all the trees since they’re due after six months. Just a quick reminder: keep dogs and chickens out of the treated areas for their safety!

Tackling Erosion with Irrigation

  • We also focused on water irrigation to combat erosion and manage the massive water flow in certain areas.
  • Our water filtration system is still missing a few parts, but we’re working on getting it sorted!

Welcoming New Family Members

  • The highlight of our day? We welcomed two adorable Chihuahua puppies and a Labrador Mix into our farm family!
    • Chihuahuas are the smallest dog breed in the world, hailing from Mexico.
    • Labradors are friendly and loyal, perfect companions for farm life.
  • A huge thank you to our neighbor Meraflor Santos for her generosity, and a special shoutout to her dad for the chicken! 🐔 It’s wonderful to see neighbors helping each other out. Remember, that’s what love and community are all about!

Sharing the Spirit

  • In the spirit of giving back, I’m offering all the Napier Grass along the cliff and creek. Feel free to take as much as you can carry for the next six months! Just text me for entry so my team can assist you.

That’s a wrap on today’s farm adventures! Stay tuned for more updates, and let’s keep this community spirit alive. Happy farming, everyone! 🌿

Welcome to Jessie’s Sunshine Farm

Where Frogs Dance and Thunder Rolls! 

Jessie’s Sunshine Farm in the enchanting land of Don Carlos

A place where the sun shines brighter than your neighbor’s new car, and the frogs throw nightly dance parties that would make even the devil tap his feet! 🌞🐸

Nestled in Barangay Road, Purok 4, this farm is not just a patch of land; it’s a whimsical wonderland where nature’s quirks come alive. Picture this: as the sun dips below the horizon, the frogs emerge, donning their finest dance shoes (or webbed feet, if you will) to groove under the moonlight. Who knew amphibians had such rhythm?

But wait, there’s more! When the thunder rolls like a rock band on tour, and the snakes decide to slither out for a little evening stroll, you know you’re in for a wild night. It’s like a nature documentary, but with more sass and less narration.

What to Expect at Jessie’s Sunshine Farm:

  1. Frog Dance Parties: Join the froggy festivities! Just don’t forget your dancing shoes (or flip-flops).
  2. Thunderous Entertainment: Enjoy the natural symphony of thunder while sipping on some fresh coconut water. Who needs a concert when you have Mother Nature?
  3. Slithering Spectacles: Witness the snakes in their natural habitat—just remember, they’re not here for a hug!

So, if you’re looking for a place where the wildlife is as lively as your Aunt Edna after a few glasses of wine, Jessie’s Sunshine Farm is your go-to destination. Just be sure to bring your sense of humor and maybe a raincoat—because when the thunder rolls, it might just rain frogs!

Now, who’s ready to join the dance? 🐸✨

Whats up on the Farm?

3rd day without water since FIBECO changed a transformer in the substation. Then the water pumps dont run and power is down. They dont have doubled up transmission lines so that they can easily take out one to fix it, or to switch it on another grid line. Mmmh. Well, well, it will come.

Our washing machine also failed, but I think it is only the fuse that burnt since a screw blocked the rotation of the drum. Will fix it tomorrow.

The dogs are doing fine, just do NOT eat the food of Tiger. He bites the little ones in the face. But other than that, he cares a lot. This is Lucy, the black and white, she adopted them both.

We also had a visitor. Grey back with some yellow on the side. And it spits!

Philippine Cobra

We did not kill it.

 

Can you see it?
