Hello friends, I wish everyone is well, today I want to share with you a great work experience that I had yesterday Saturday at my farm. In yesterday's post, I told you that after two years absent from my farm, I have decided to return to the farm. because thank God I already feel good health, I tell you that during the time I was away, the land was invaded by weeds, it's quite hard work, but I have to do it, the good thing is that I have the help of my nephew and my brother in law and of course with the support of my wife and sister-in-law, because they are in charge of the logistics, such as preparing the meals, coffee and cold water.

I tell you that yesterday morning my wife and my sister-in-law decided to prepare some beans with vegetables, cooked on the stove, the truth is that when they are cooked over wood, they taste good, so my brother in law improvised a stove on a old table and after lighting the firewood, the women took charge of preparing the food.

How good it is to eat a bean soup with vegetables and beef ribs, after working in the fields

The truth is that it is difficult to recover the things that we have abandoned. I tell you this because I kept all the areas near the house clean, but in these two years that I was away from the farm, the weeds invaded a large part of the surroundings of the house, so now I have to clean everything. those areas, so that everything goes back to the way it was before, so yesterday Saturday I began to remove the roots of the grass, I did this work little by little, resting every 20 minutes, because the sun was strong, but I was removing the weeds little by little bit. little by little, without forcing the body, so as not to have pain the next day, because I am aware that at 66 I have to do my work little by little and not expose myself too much to the sun, my wife spread sunscreen all over my face and arms, like I'm on the beach

There are herbs such as grass, which must be removed with the roots so that they do not grow again, this is done with an iron shovel, it is hard work, but I take it as a day of recreation, because with the support of the family, between jokes, laughter, juices, coffee and meals, one forgets how hard this work is, we practically make this day a different day to have fun working.

Soup with beans, vegetables and beef ribs, cooked with firewood

While my brother in law, my nephew and I worked, the women were preparing the bean soup:

• Here we can see the improvised stove, soon I will make a stove with bricks:

• What you see in the images are the chopped legumes, there we can see the cilantro, chives, garlic-joint, garlic, onions and sweet pepper, we can also see the auyama, ocumo, cassava and tender bananas:

• From very early in the morning, my wife put the beans to soak so that they released a substance that according to our grandparents, is the substance that causes flatulence in people:

Its time to eat:

After working for 4 hours in the morning, at about 12:30 my wife told me that the soup was ready, so I stopped cleaning, as did my brother in law and my nephew, after washing our hands we sat down. to eat, the truth is that the soup was delicious, I confess that I had not eaten something like this for a long time, I immediately remembered my mother-in-law, because she liked to prepare the beans this way, my mother-in-law said, that the seasonings were fried and the firewood , they flavored the meals well and my wife learned from her so I had to compliment my wife and sister in law on this delicious lunch.

Well friends, I confess that yesterday I had a wonderful day, today I woke up well although a little tired, but this will happen to me, tomorrow Monday I will go back to the farm to continue weeding and planting some plants, greetings.
