Green Green Grass of Home

How I miss the good old days when I know all our neighbors and I can see lots and lots of greens. The fresh air, the pineapple plantation that is very abundant and the forest near our house. We have a very spacious bermuda grass, butterfly trees and the camp site visit for a few hours chatting and playing. And most of the time we pick some vegetable along the road because most of our neighbors love to plant vegetable beside the river and no one will question us because we’re all friends and the land is free. But since we move to the city and our house is located at the very not good environment. Mostly small houses that is very near to each other, I can’t even smell fresh air anymore and we can only grow flowers and plants in a pot because there’s no enough space for a small garden or even a playing space. But what can I do, that was not our land, it was owned by DEL MONTE and it so happen that old owner (american) sold it to the lorenzon’s and they have to change management and policies. And most of the old employee including my father choose to accept early retirement than work in an agency. Hmmm, If we still live in that place until now, I don’t need to pay large amount of electric bill because I don’t need an AC and I can use the electric fan only in the afternoon. Too much for my green green grass of home memories.

The park but we called it PLASA.. Have a small snack bar at my back and a basketball court.   We always play Volleyball for the girls and basketball for the boy and the kids just playing chase every afternoon. Missing those..
The camp site, sometime reception wedding’s are held here, because on the top portion is the church location. Very convenient for the visitors and to the married couple. 
This is part of the pine apple plantation and it suppose to have pineapple plant here, but I guess they preferred bushes. hehehehe
 

Green Monday

    That’s sad. I have not been to Bukidnon but friends talk about its aircon weather and crisp, clean air.

    Wow, seeing those photos, I am missing my hometown too. I missed the old days when we are contented by just walking from school to home and vice versa. The air is so fresh and I also missed the smell after the rain or after the tall grasses was cut. Now, those are the days.

    It is really nice to live in a place where there’s lots of plants and trees … more fresh air and less flooding if ever. I hope someday we can also live in that kind of place.

    You have a very nice and greeny place. Just exactly suits as your entry in the meme.I love it how you describe the campsite. That must’ve been very beautiful more in person for it to be a wedding reception.

    Yes, we go missing the beauties as grow older. But even the nostalgia is worthwhile, because it never fails to move and delight us.

    Moving to another place, house can be very challenging, especially if you have grown to love your previous address a lot. I hope that even if you still miss your former place, you will also come to see other hidden blessings in your present one Smile Thanks for the visit, I also liked your FB page, hope you can do likewise Smile
