Saturday is mostly overcast but at least it was dry during the day so I was out of the house and had a wee photographing session with a few of the little things in the yard.
The eggplants are flowering again, thankfully. They lost their blooms during the storm last month and it was mesmerizing to see them grow some buds and open up. I even found a single small fruit hanging along one of the poles that the husband placed beside the stem.
It looks like we have something to harvest in a week - although there's only one, lol! Still good enough for Torta. It's been a long while since we had something like that on the table for I am not really a fan of the preparations involved.
The time spent outside, although short was very worth it. It reinvigorated the soul and the body. I was also reminded of the fact that we do reap what we sow, literally (well, at least for those in the garden).
I was able to enjoy those small wonders because some months ago (years for the shrubs, fruit trees, and others), we took the initiative to plant them plus, we occasionally tended to them. They didn't just grow on their own as weeds do.
This yellow burst from one of the shrubs added a touch of cheerfulness to the yard. Not so long ago, I pruned most of its stems because they were growing taller than I want them to be. And while most of the stems are yet to grow back leaves, this one gave me a wonderful surprise today.
Anyhow, before I get totally sidetracked, let me just go forth with the update of my goal numbers for the last 7 days (the 33rd week in the year).
Leo Power (Goal: 22,000 LP)
I managed to add a little bit more (392 LEO). The majority of that was transferred from my main a/c and then staked to this alt on LPUD.
- Current: 21,546 LP
- Week 32: 21,154 LP
- Growth: 1.85%
With this increase, I'm just a little less than 500 LEO short of hitting my Leo Power goal for the year. This gal is pretty stoked, yay!
Hive Power (Goal: 2k HP)
- Current: 1,984 HP
- Week 32: 1,959 HP
There was an increase of 25 Hive Power which is less than 1% but at least there is a movement in the number. Hivestats shows the sporadic chart of my account growth and content rewards during the previous week.
Hopefully, in the next update, the numbers will improve. That also means I will have to up my game and do a lot better.
We shall see how it goes by then. Meanwhile, it's the weekend and we are going to take time to enjoy more of life!
