Planting Trees with The Prophet.

Hi! It's been a while since my last entry. Am so sorry but I have yet to get internet access at my farm. The cdma phone service is erratic and had to be placed outside the house for me to receive and make calls. I can't afford the satelite broadband offered by some operators. Guess I have to blog whenever I am in town.
More than 3 weeks had gone by and I am fully adjusted to the life tending to the needs in the farm. I hope to be more organise as the days proceed. Last week was spent mainly on planting trees and preparing the ground for planting. The best I could recall, a total of 20 'pandan' flavour coconuts were planted, 5 lemon trees, 1 'mau king' durian tree, 2 'indian date' trees, 2 'sar li' trees, 1 longan and quite a few bourganvillas. The prophet came to help me and under his prophetic direction, all the trees are doing well, sort of a divine intervention. It's a lot of work but very fulfilling and by the end of the day, even the best astro program fails to entice me from my bed. The dogs are adapting pretty well, gorging themselves crazy from the excess durians and durian skins. Kimi the beagle no longer wants dog food, she prefers rotten durians. Mac the french mastif is game for all sorts of food while Reno and Bassey are enjoying the space. The two smaller puppies have put on weight and are being trained to do their business at the right places.
My wife still has to travel a fair bit due to her work in KL and it is pretty tiring for her. I pray God will open the way somehow for her to free from the stressful business world.
Had some interuption of electricity supply and water too, some clowns working on the roads accidently dug up some of the cables and pipes. I had power from my gen set but there was no way I could produce water... sigh! Wish the Lord was around to turn my murky pond water to clean water.
I am glad to report that I am adapting well to a totally different lifestyle. God is merciful! Got to go, take care all and God Bless! and Keep! all in the well till He comes again!
