Oh! So glad to hear from you! I was wondering where you have been, I didn’t see your new posts lately.

I am very lucky in my unprofessional approach to set up a self-sufficiency farm! It is a learning process and experiment by city dweller.

So far, I have been lucky with swapping or exchanging things with local villagers. Most villagers had sold out their land to investors or rich people. So, they have to rent land to grow tomatoes or sweet potatoes and chili for the local markets. Although the rent is very, very low; they have to pay for extra water for the plants. Some villagers keep a few cows so that they may have more cows sell in a year or two. So, they have to look for grass for their cows.

Yes, the grass is quite a problem in rainy season. But we have unexpected help, big thanks to those cows.

Bad news about those pack of dogs. I was informed that four dogs were poisoned. Only four smaller dogs are left behind. They often go around to chase people’s chickens and steal food.

It has been rainy five days in s row! Mud and water-logged dirt roads around my area. But the atmosphere is green and cooler. Oh! We have some giant black scorpions walking about in the garden too!

Have a very nice day.
