New compartments for our feathered companions.

Hey everyone! It’s been a wild week here on the farm, and I’m excited to share some updates about our feathered friends.

First up, the chicklets! Remember those adorable little guys we were raising? Well, they’ve finally got their own two walkout compartments! It was a long time coming, and we lost a few little ones to the harsh weather. Rain and wind, you’re no match for our chicklets now! We have 7 in total, 4 native chickens and 3 “monster chickens” (they’re just a bit bigger, haha!). They’re all safe and sound now, and I can’t wait to see them grow up.

Speaking of growth, our pabos have a new compartment too! Their mom wasn’t exactly the best at taking care of them, and we lost 8 little ones. We built a second compartment to give them some extra space and hopefully a little more protection. We’re keeping our fingers crossed that this new setup will help them thrive.

It’s been a lot of work, but it’s so rewarding to see our little flock growing and thriving. We’re taking it one week at a time, and we’re excited to see what the future holds for our feathered friends!

What do you think of our new compartments? Do you have any tips for raising chicks? Let me know in the comments!

A Tale of Big Landslide and Strong Flooding

A Tale of a Landslide, Floods, and Grass That’s Out to Get You Ah, nature!

The ultimate interior designer, always ready to throw a surprise party with a side of chaos. Picture this: a quaint little creek, minding its own business, suddenly decides to channel its inner Niagara Falls. Cue the landslide and flood damage! It’s like Mother Nature looked at our peaceful pathway and said, “Boring! Let’s wash it away!” The Great Flood of the Small Creek Our beloved creek, once a gentle trickle, transformed into a raging river faster than you can say “waterlogged.” If you’re looking for a scenic detour, you’ve found it! Just be careful not to take a wrong step—unless you fancy a swim in the muddy abyss or enjoy a fall into the pit of hell, which is 30 feet deep and dark. There will be no escape from that tomb.

Grass That’s Gone Rogue

And let’s not forget the grass! Oh, the grass! It’s grown to a staggering 6 meters tall—that’s taller than your average giraffe! It’s as if the grass decided to audition for a role in a jungle movie. Who knew that a little rain could turn our farm into a scene from “Jumanji”? If you’re looking for a new hiding spot, this grass is the perfect camouflage. Just don’t forget to bring a map and bolo; you might get lost in there!

The Great Green Wall

You thought you were entering a lush paradise, but surprise! It’s more like a botanical version of a lost in the desert. Every step forward feels like a battle against a wall of leaves that seems to have a personal vendetta against you.

Conclusion: Embrace the Chaos

So, what’s the takeaway from this delightful disaster? Nature has a sense of humor, and sometimes it likes to remind us who’s really in charge. Whether it’s a washed-out pathway or grass that’s plotting to take over the world, let’s embrace the chaos and enjoy the wild ride. After all, who needs a perfectly manicured lawn when you can have a rainforest right outside your door, when God is in charge?

Stay tuned for more adventures in the great outdoors—where every day is a new episode of “Survivor: Farm Edition”! 🌿

Cassava Our Mindanao

Tubers of Terror: A Cassava Comedy

Alright, folks, let’s talk tubers! Not the kind you find in a bathtub, mind you, but the kind that grow underground and make you go “Hmmm… should I eat this?” We’re talking cassava, those rooty, starchy fellas that come in two flavors: bitter and sweet.Now, before you go thinking these are the perfect picnic snack, let’s get real. Cassava, in its raw form, is a bit of a party pooper. It’s got cyanide lurking in its flesh, like a tiny, toxic party crasher.

But fear not, my friends! Cooking is the key to unlocking cassava’s potential. A good ol’ fashioned heat treatment will banish those nasty cyanides, leaving you with a delicious and (hopefully) non-lethal treat.

So, next time you’re craving a rooty adventure, remember: cassava is a wild ride, but with a little heat, it can be a tasty one.

And hey, if you’re feeling adventurous, try a cassava smoothie. Just make sure you blend it really, really well. You don’t want any surprises in your drink, do you? 😉

News Update for January 05, 2025

Some progress is done, small steps at a time. But life is good. There are no problems, problems are obstacles and obstacles are new adventures.
We had 8 pabo eggs this morning. Every day is rainy season for some reason. It is supposed to be dry now until April but we have heavy rain every afternoon.

Also, some YouTube planting videos are total scam. More to this later.
Our dogs are sick. The small ones are weak and barely move, Tiger was not seen for one day and he skipped a meal, showed up this morning again and stayed all day with us. Maybe he is doing better. Maybe Rabis? But his saliva is not dripping, his snout is dry!!! Maybe dead worms in his intestines and they create poison? We will see.
The flowers are coming along, slowly but surely. Also veggies. Funny is, even a Power Engineer has to learn to plant his own onions, garlic, and ginger. A challenge for me. But hey, You have a huge piece of land but you buy your onions in the market?? LOL That has to change.
We had our ONE YEAR JESSIE’S SUNSHINE FARM party with our buddy boys and family. Nice BBQ and some beer.
Moving forward.

Surprise from a Small but Dangerous Cobra

No Water on the Farm.

It is the 3rd day without water since FIBECO changed a transformer in the substation. Then the water pumps don’t run and power is down. They don’t 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. But first the Cobra.

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 Cobra

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

The air chills as the serpent slithers soundlessly out from under the sheltering flowers and Alovera. Its spine arches, and within a heartbeat, the terrifying, iconic hood flares wide. It sways gently, watching your every breath with cold, unblinking eyes. Panic threatens to take over, but your instinct to protect your sanctuary snaps you into survival mode. You know you have to take action, but one wrong move could be catastrophic

Can you see it?

.

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. Looking for the snake.
