And the after-feast exercise continues!

When you have a village house that has been unattended for 3 months....

The wild will step in!

And this is my "payment" after the scrumptious delicious Winter Solstice + Christmas celebration dinner. Armed with hooks, machete, saw, and cutter...

Under the hot sun and blue sky!

My dad was supposed to be resting after a semi nasty fall in the kitchen after over exerting his body; but I supposed that prayers did answer and even with just a tiny but of pain left he set aside his walking stick weild the machete! 🙈

Until my mom and I had to stop him and we resumed the work.

Maybe the scrumptious dinner managed to revive his body from the fall faster too

And he wasn't all wrong intension. The whole back yard was (before this picture) infested with weeds and crippling plants that were killing his beloved fruit trees, and the rambutan and sugar-apple aka sweet sop were over grown and untidy.

It took us all 3 about 3 hours to clear at least some part of the back yard, including me lunging a 8 foot ladder, climbing up as high as the maximum with my cap on, using a home made modified hook (thanks to my mom) and stretched as far as I could for the few red dots spotted by my parents and myself....

And the hard work and sweat under the sun paid off

Our family fruit tree gave us some Christmas present after patiently waiting for a whole year...

Even though it had to make us work for it for the present

An estimated of almost 500g of organic home grown rambutan fruits were harvested.

crunchy, juicy and sweet

Though not big

It was the happiest day for my parents; because for their age they may never get to harvest them at such height.

And to me. The sweat (and some mosquito bites) was worth the pain.

By the sweat of your brow will you have food to eat...
Genesis 3:19a

How irony it is to feel the relation of the family fruit tree harvest with this part of the scripture.... Literally with sweat on my brow!

And a few good count too.
