A recent photo of the families rubber trees.

Hopefully in 2-3 years we will be able to join the rest of the farmers at the auction to sell our rubber.

A couple of photos from the last rainy season.

I actually do wish that could be the case because I loathe brownfield land regeneration and hazardous waste site remediation. Suffered it for 20 years. Had enough.

This is a bit of our kids' plantation, doing very well and producing much rubber goo now.

Northern...New harvest, new sticky rice... Khao Lum + Hor Neung (Wrap Steam)

I was messing around, my bad...

Here's the missing photo.

My sorghum

Mai mee nam right now. Not even enough to do the washing this week. Groundwater pump has failed and the mains water provides about 40 litres a day. Need phon -tok.

At Uncles rubber farm just before the rubber was harvested.

A simple but quite quaint night shelter at one of the neighbouring farms.

Shag, that's a very tidy farm and that's an executive apartment of a field shelter.

Someone bothers. I like it when someone bothers. There is no need to exist in litter and filth.

Out on the bike yesterday I bumped into these handsome fellows.

Sadly, these guys looked like they had been marked and numbered for their journey to the great beyond.

The one on the right has to be a Bull ... he's been roped through the nose ... metaphor for us poor blokes.

On the left ... defiantly distinct eyelashes and curvier horns.

BTW ... I have a very active imagination!

Sunset at the cabbage field, my wife is in the back, picking fresh lemongrass for the tomyammoo.

What is the blue light shinging from the musrooms, Packdee?

This is another couple of photos from the field shelter and rubber farm I posted yesterday.

What MJP said yesterday in one of his posts was very true " Someone bothers. I like it when someone bothers. There is no need to exist in litter and filth."

This farm is a very good example of someone caring and also being practical by using some of the land in between the rubber trees to grow pineapples.

If you look to the left of the building you can see the rows of pineapples.

A better view of the pineapples.

Young bamboo shoots

and some a little older

These perspectives make it look like it is straight out of Jurassic Park. How big are they?

I keep looking for the fairies fluttering about ...
