The diary game. “A Day of Hard Work, Healing, and Harvest”

Hello, dear friends! How is everyone doing? I hope you are all well and enjoying your time with your loved ones, no matter where you are. Today, I want to share another day of my life with you all. I hope you find some time to read my post and that you find it enjoyable enough to upvote.

I got up very early in the day because I have a habit of rising early to the chirping of birds that come through the open window of my room. I got irritated and, without hesitation, kicked myself out of bed and straightaway went to perform ablution and purified myself for the morning prayers. I went to the nearby mosque for the morning prayers, as it’s just a stone’s throw from my house and quick to reach. Without any delay, I joined the community to offer the morning prayers. As such, I started my day with some peace, a vibe of prosperity, and positivity.

Only after making supplications, I headed towards my place and straightaway got into some gardening work, as I usually do early in the day because I prefer to maintain good aesthetics at my place and could hardly bear to lose those aesthetics to weeds or unwanted additions. After watering the lawn, I looked for any weeds, removed them, and then placed different plants in their appropriate places to help them grow well.

After I was done with the gardening work, I went for a walk towards the orchard located on the outer boundary of the village. These days are quite pleasing, with ripening fruits and beauty all around the orchards. The aroma of these ripening fruits is quite attractive. The satisfaction we get while seeing those apples is mesmerizing and unmatched. It also gives a realization of how much hard work farmers put in throughout the year to produce such a quality crop.

Upon returning from the walk, I straightaway went to take a hot shower and then joined my parents in the dining room, where they were already waiting for me. Today, I took an off from office as I had to harvest some apples from our orchard, which is located on top of a hill. Given the onerous terrain, I couldn’t go there on foot, so I took my car to reach the site. Not only did I have to take my fellow man with me, but I also had to take some containers in which we could store the apples and then carry them back home. For that particular reason, I was forced to take my car with me, and as those containers could be placed in a very small space, the car was sufficient for this purpose.

It was quite a challenge, along with some excitement. The road wasn’t good at all towards the orchard, as rains and incessant water flow had damaged it badly. It was quite something to see the car bouncing over the potholes. I had my brother and dad with me, and it was quite a good experience for me, as I also got a chance to go and know where our property lies.

We harvested the apples and then had to carry them to the road, from where they had to be transported back to our place. This time, it was a task where me and my brother took the leading role and didn’t let our father do anything, as the terrain was quite challenging and our father, who is in his 60s, could have gotten harmed. We finished our work very late in the day. After finishing our task, we headed back home. It was quite a warm welcome by our mother because it was the first time we were doing something on our own. The laborers who usually help us were not available today, and since the apples were ripe enough to fall and cause damage, we couldn’t stop ourselves from finishing the job.

My brother and I, working in the sun throughout the day, developed agonizing headaches, and while on our way home, we bought some relief tablets from a nearby medical shop. Later, upon reaching home, I had a cup of tea after which I took a nap and got some relief from the headache. My brother also went to sleep. At around 9:30 PM, we were called by our mother for dinner. It was around 11:45 PM when I went to sleep and called it a day.

Thank you for going through my post. Have a great time ahead.
