This is my entry to LOH ~Ladies of Hive~ #88
Invited by @momogrow
And I would like to invite @littlebee4

This post responded to nr. 2; Take me with you on one day this coming week.

                               ~-~-~-~-~-***-~-~-~-~-~-

I go with the flow, never know what comes and need my attention. I write down some tasks what need to be done, because these things can be forgotten easy...
I take life as it comes to me.

I wake up when my eyes open, mostly in summertime starts around 5.30 - 06.00, with a private concert from the Nightingales.
Before the heat comes, I work in the garden, in that way I feel fresh all day.

Together with Sunny and Bella, my dogs, we make a beautiful walk around the village, beside the sea. Just where the path brings us. Of course, me and Sunny have to dip the sea; Without a bath, no good start!

If I find berries and fruits on my way I eat them directly, fresher doesn't exist. Also, I picked today some fresh chamomile to dry for tea during the winter.

After I make a round in my gardens, to see what needs my attention. I harvest what is ready to be eaten and pick the things I use for my breakfast.

Raspberries

It is 11.30 and I cannot handle the heat, so there we go to the sea. For some reading, writing and swimming. I push myself to relax more during the hot summer days. I can be working all day and night, I am like an ant, preparing already for the winter.

On our way back we visit the butcher to ask if they have meat leftovers for my animals and the strays that I am feeding. We are thankful for their share; in this way we don't waste anything and also fill up hungry bellies for my animals and the strays.

Today we see also the Egypt Fishman who understand our way of living. We exchange without a coin in between, fruits and veggies for fresh fish! In t6his way I also have fresh eggs from my neighbor.

It is a pleasure to have people around who understand this way of living and exchanging. Money is nothing more than exchanging your time for someone else’s dream (call it job) and father money you go to buy food... I just keep the exchanging with coins out of that circle.

Fresh Fish

In the midday when it is even too hot on the beach I am in my cool home, with closed windows so the heat doesn’t come in. I prepare food for the afternoon meal, cleaning fish, making salads. Also, I preserve my zucchini in jars, sweet/ and sour, pickled ones.

Can you believe, I come here for 33 years, and she for 22 years and our paths just cross one year ago! We found out we are the same and loves of back 2 basic living. Her daughter laughs about us because she thought her mom is the only one who is so crazy and now she laughs double, because she sees us together, sharing veggies/fruits, picking wild herb and berries and working together in our gardens. We support and help each other in daily life and have built a garden together on an empty field from a local Greek.

2nd garden I have created together with my friend/neighbor. We have planted to many seeds.

So today we have the pleasure to eat fish together!

Surrounded by pallets we made a compost place where I allow the pumpkins to grow
.

And the stray cats here eat the leftover fish. In this way we don’t throw food away, all got used and every body is happy.

After dinner we take a quick dip again in the sea. That was the most important reason to move here, every moment of the day we want to jump in we do that!

The garden is calling! for some small jobs, the temperature is dropping so it is pleasant to work until it gets dark. Although I am the dinner bite for many mosquito's, that is less pleasant, but also they want to stay alive!

Now time for a shower and a cup of tea and relaxing in my hammock with my cats and dogs.

Beautiful peak into your life and day @babetter 😁
Love the veggies, fruits and herbs around you… we are moving and I will start a garden again. The same as you do it basically. Can’t wait.
Thanks for the mention, was already planning to join in, just hope I find some time in time. Busy busy lately hahaha 🤣 but I also let life take me where it will take me…
Happy weekend!

@littlebee4 I totally understand, i am planning writing in my schedule, otherwise it wont happen... Having Garden, caring for strays and my own Animals, preserving food, living back 2 Basics, etc. etc made me more busy then ever, but it is worth it... When I had a job at the office I needed to watch TV to empathy my head, that is now not needed anymore. Where is Spain will you move to? Welcome to visit us here in Greece kisses

Yep, exactly… living back to basics is just so rewarding, for body and soul in every way.
Love it… not having a garden since 3 years is making me… 😣😣😣
If all goes like planned 🤞🏻🤞🏻 We are moving continents, so it is a big move to the US. Up in the mountains and forests. Country number 6 for me 😁🥰 Second option will still be a move out of Spain. But we go for option 1. It is a relocation with hubbies work.
I would love to visit Greece one day, haven’t been there yet. One day 😁💃🏻☀️

Wauw it sounds great if you move to the mountains and forest. it is wonderful that you are able to experience more places on earth to live. 😍
Always welcome here in Greece

It sure is, I can’t wait… think I moved around 50 times so far hahaha lol 😂
Maybe I’m a wanderer. But it’s time to settle down… we don’t get any younger 💃🏻💃🏻
I keep it for sure in mind, thanks ☺️😎
Have an awesome Sunday!

Wow so many times! I have traveled a lot around the world, but always lived in the same place in Holland. This was my first (and direct big) move
Have a beautiful start of the week

This is without me traveling the world @babetter hahaha 🤣 I do that too. These are actual full moves.
Interesting to hear, that you haven’t really moved a lot. As you do sound like a wanderer. But you had always roots to go back to when traveling.
I have never grown roots. Not when I was a child not when I’m an adult.
But I feel it is time now. 😎💃🏻☀️ A few more moves… as we need to rent first in the other side to get all sorted and locate the right spot. We know exactly what we want. So that helps.
Enjoy your Monday 👋🏻☀️Have a beautiful start of the week!

Beautiful post @babetter - you have a lovely life in the village . It is great that you can barter things with your neighbour. Those rapberries look so great - yummy.
Nice photos. Have a great weekend.

Thanks dear @momogrow. Have a lovely day as well

Yes true, life is great in this way, never thought I could feel so rich with nothing. It was never planned, but created somehow... Universe had the plan, money is nothing more then exchanging time,.. Have a beautiful week as well @ifarmgirl x
