What Weekend Plans?

During Tita Malou's Saturday pizza treat, she invited us to spend the next day out of town.
Plan 1: To see Tita Malou's farm in Calabanga.
Plan 2: To observe animal life there - chicken, cows, fishes.
Plan 3: To enjoy half-a-day with Mother Nature - water, air, plants, trees, rocks, soil.
Plan 4: To unwind - for a few hours only.
Plan 5: To eat - Siram hayy!!!
(Thanks to Tita Malou & everyone at her farm)



Getting ready for lunch!!!
(Moi - in red, Daisy - in black, Necy - in yellow, Dindin - in white, & me)






I'm holding a native broom "walis"...
(After attempting to clean up dried mud tracks from the farm - can you even tell that I'm still in pain due to laryngitis?)









At the fishpond
(That's Tita Malou in grey & black; mom in pink & me)







That's Andrei - ready to chow down!!!
(On the table - LUNCH!!! chicken, buttered shrimp, fish soup, grilled fish, seafood, pineapple slices)






At Kate's with work mates and a kid named Moi
(Daisy, Dindin, Moi, Andrei, me, Mak)







Aerial view of chicken coop (with a/c - best of German technology)








Inside the chicken coop - see us with those 1 week old cluckers!!!
(My bag's made of canvass - saying NO to plastic!!!)







Still inside the chicken coop
(FYI: Tita Malou said that during the 1st few weeks of chick-life, the a/c inside the building is turned off. Needless to say, it was warm in there - like an incubator)





Live chicken - ready for harvest this week
(One harvest of 35-day old chicken = 20,000 heads!!!)







Spindly brown legs - cows imported from New Zealand








Sometimes a fun weekend need not be planned that much - just go with the flow.
Enjoy!
