Good evening everyone. It's my pleasure, to have you in this space. You're all welcome to my blog.
I said last week, in Weekend Experience Community, that I would be engaging in farming work this week, and that's exactly what I did.
This week has been the most stressful week for me. I go to the farm from morning till night. I don't even have time for my personal affairs.
I had so many things in mind to do this weekend, but out of all those things that were on my mind, I was able to do just one, which was farming work.

When I say farming work, don't be confused. This weekend, I was involved in cassava processing. When my mother told me we would be going to the farm to harvest cassava, I was so excited because it had been a long, I did that.
My mother came to my room on Thursday night to remind me of Friday's work; I told her I'd heard. Immediately, it was past 6. a. I rose and started preparing to leave for the farm.
I left the house, with my mother to the farm to harvest cassava. The rain was raining so heavily that, at some point, I felt like staying back.
But, my mother, didn't let me be. She said I must go to the farm to harvest the cassava, no matter the weather. I was feeling cold all over my body. I was also sneezing because of the bad weather.
Luckily enough, we arrived at the farm. But, when we arrived there, we noticed that thieves had harvested some of our cassava, and we didn't know due to where we were residing.
After my mother had gone through the farm, just to confirm if what she saw was true, She came back and said to me, my daughter, we would harvest half of the cassava that was planted on that farm, and I agreed.

We started harvesting the cassava, till we were satisfied. After harvesting it, we brought them to our house, and I started pilling them, one after the other.
I washed them with clean water, and then, I took them to a mill to grind them. I stayed there for more than two hours, and I was very weak because I'd been working throughout the day.
I was, so annoyed because of how those workers behaved. I shouted at them before they came out and ground those cassava for me. I thanked them for relieving me of my stress.
I returned home to rest for the day while hoping to continue today. Today happened to be more stressful than yesterday because of the ill_ treatment I got this morning when I went to get my ground cassava.
When I arrived there, I noticed water was still coming out from the cassava. And I knew they didn't press the cassava so that the water could drain out.
I waited patiently, till the cassava was dry.

I took it home and started shaving it. I did that successfully. Finally, I did the frying by myself. I enjoyed this weekend so much, because, I have supplus garri in the house.
Thank you for visiting my blog.
