My happy place, in amongst the trees.
This morning I was on the land, watering Avocado, olive and citrus trees. It was early morning and I got to enjoy the cool dawn. Just as the sun rose over the mountains. To breathe in that fresh air, as I walked the land. Directing water towards each tree and taking the time to say hello to each one.
There is a big ole avocado tree, close to the center of the land. Wide branches, that invite you to explore them, to go beneath them. Where you get the best view of the fruit on the tree and where I feel so calm. So held.
It's magical really. Being out at that time, seeing the sun hit the mountains, feeling the new day rising. With my feet on the earth, my body surrounded by branches. It's my happy place. Plain and simple, I could try and dress it up with some poetic words, but nothing would hit home, the same way. Than just telling it like it is.
I do feel really lucky to call this my job, caring for land. Doing what I love, what feels most natural to me. I look forward to each day, there is never any dread, about what my job entails.
After watering the trees, I watered the little veg patch I have created there. I've planted lots of tomatoes, so many I can't even remember the different varieties, so it will all be a surprise, there are some pear and beef and cherry for sure and the rest
Courgettes as well, which have been doing quite well. I have harvested a few already. Then there are the pumpkins and a few chilli. I water them, with water that is pumped from the alberque, where everything gets a good soaking. It's a smell I love, that of damp earth.
And then, there are my melons. I am very happy with how they have been growing. There are about nine so far. I delight, at finding them hiding amongst the pumpkins and tomatoes. Watching them grow bigger and bigger. Admiring the beautiful leaves, that run along side them .
It's a great way to start the day, getting to be in my happy place.

Saludos amiga, es cierto yo comparto tus gustos. Mi lugar ideal está entre las plantas, aunque en estos momentos tengo una plaga horrible de caracoles que se comen mis plantas y me dañan las otras. Gracias por compartir tus experiencias
Gracias @nara61 xx
