20210406 Christmas in April

 

These are what our new variety of chillies look like now.  The bushes look as if they are hung with very intensely colourful Christmas decorations. 

20210405 This time last year

 

I was going through some of my old files and came across this picture that I took of our gate during last year’s lockdown.

Despite not being able to see very much through the locked gate I could see a whole tree.  At the time it gave me hope that something whole was there in what was at the time a very fractured world with the pandemic and going on and many people fearful of both the disease and suffering economic consequences.

20210402 Sunset

 

I just happened to be walking by the pond a few days ago and got this picture on my phone.  Sunsets are really lovely this time of year but seem very fleeting.  I was just lucky to be there at the right time for this picture.

20210401 Hot season crops

 

Already it feels very hot and this is reflected in the fruit and vegetables we are taking to Foodlink right now. 

The papaya lovely but of course all the other farms have it as well as us.

20210331 Sun on the water

 

Rajan took this picture of the setting sun on the water in one of our ponds.

At last I have a picture of it.

20210330 EEEEUUUUUWW!!

 

Did a good morning’s work this morning clearing up plastic and leaves around the temple just outside our gate.  We used the leaves for mulch but the plastic……..ugh!!!  Especially this piece in the picture that had been flung onto the fence.

 

20210329 Sun and Trees

 

I took this picture earlier this week in the little patch of forest just beyond the main pond.

I love how the sun shines on the leaves of the trees.

We walked through this patch of forest this evening with a group from Auroville who came to look at our water system in the farm.  It was magical.
