Hello Remarkable Souls!
Hope grabbing essence of life (joy) from each moment :)
It's not that how long we exist physically in this world but How brilliantly we make ourselves to
"FEEL ALIVE " by composing our thoughts positively and channelizing our energies for creating a beautiful world within and around us :)
June and July are here months of two main fruits of Sindh Province .The Mango and Dates .
Both fruits are mainly grown and export from here throughout and outside country.
Both fruits must avoid rainfall until they are stored safely .
Both fruits include many steps and long process till they get ready for market .
Though procedure for dates is more long and difficult.
Rural areas in surroundings of our small city has dates garden in abundance that spread to Sukkur city as well.
During summers too many people from far come to earn living as labor,most of them belong to desert Thar near us.
Sunday Morning was gorgeous due to cloudy weather after long time. So we decided to take kids for outing to Sukkur city.
On the way i was totally consumed by date gardens laced both sides of roads .
my imagination ran like a goat in soothing lawns within gardens !!!!!!!!!!!!!
where ever eyes travel i can see the grace of Lord for his beloved man .His love for us is deepest and unconditional :)))
Ice melting in summers fills the Indus river , there were so many fishing and visiting boats roaming though weather in sukkur was just hazy not cloudy yet people were enjoying :)
Beautiful tree was fallen in the lap of river (park area) work of strong winds indeed
do you ever feel that sun peeking through branches is invoking and magical :)
Sunday evening was cool though clouds were gone ,i felt the stillness soothing while taking evening walk
last kiss of goodbye by clouds was still there to cherish :)
it was 3pm noon , some park boats were waiting for visitors who mostly visit in abundance in cloudy weather , weekends or mostly everyday in evenings
we did not know that sukkur's clouds will vanish until we reach there yet it was windy enough to keep us out of sweat . after some sitting and walking we left for hotel for lunch. water also has some kind of motherhood ,don't you think ?
mango juice is refreshing these days , we add some milk to make it creamy
each moment is blessing ,easy or tough both are for us ,it is on us how we discover goodness within them for us :)
Stay Happy ,Stay Strong
Have Faith ,nothing go wrong !
God Bless you Precious Friends!
Mango is great, too bad it does not grow in here, but I should buy some for my little son, he loves any fruit, but he hasn't tried mangoes yet. Have a lovely week:)
ReplyDeleteMangos grow in hotter parts of land May be dear Natalia
DeleteMy son who lives in Germany Munich miss the eating sweet mangos there
He tells that mangos he find there are mostly not sweet
Hope your son will find mangos delicious when tries
Lovely post dear! Have a great week! xx
ReplyDeleteBonita reportagem fotográfica. A cidade de Sukkur deve ser linda.
ReplyDeleteQue tudo seja bom para todos vocês.
Uma boa semana.
Um beijo.
I like both mangoes and dates. I imagine it must be great to drive and see the date gardens. Great photos, thank you!
ReplyDeleteEither I do like both dear Angela
DeleteDrive through date gardens is absolute pleasure
That's a nice description of the process to produce dates. We never know how dates are raised . We just like eating the dates.
ReplyDeleteAs you know I try to keep post short due to lot other responsibilities dear Red otherwise the details of these processes are interesting and lengthy
DeleteGreat post as always. I like Mangoes as well as dates. But I really love Mangoes. However, I have heard that the mangoes that we get here in America are not as good as Asian mangoes. I would like to try one of yours!
ReplyDeleteyou heard right dear Brain
Deletelike every part of land has it's particular thing, mangoes are specialty from here
my grand parents and parents used to tell that our mangoes are SWEETEST ONE in world and very popular product that is exported to other part of lands
i can do this but i don't how ,i mean sending some sweet mangoes for you and other friends will be great pleasure for me :)
Hi Baili :)) Those date trees are so pretty! I've never seen those before! I LOVE mango...it's so sweet! Such a treat, I've never had it with milk though a great idea!
ReplyDeleteAnd YES to your question! I find that the sun peeking through the branches is EXTREMELY magical! I love it, I always feel like Nature has a message for me when that happens! :) Water...flow...love...emotion...nurturing...is all part of being a woman and it's all connected to the Earth. Lovely isn't it? :) Did you guys go boating?
so true dear Rain that LOVE OF LORD AND LOVE INHERITED TO A MOTHER IS MOSTLY GIFTED TO MOTHER NATURE
Deletei love receiving messages from nature ,sun through trees speak more appealingly and more lovingly :)
we go boating occasionally like when we visit during yearly festival holidays or mild winter's soothing days .
hot days are not perfect for boating here
I would enjoy having mangoes and dates growing nearby. Of course I have had other fruits so I suppose I can't have them all.
ReplyDeletedear Emma yea one area can't have all types of fruits and birds :)
Deletethings differ according to weather and environment and this is beauty and way to connect inhabitants i believe
It's amazing to see the enormous clusters of dates on those trees! I do like mango and dates - mangoes are just arriving in our stores the last week or so. It's time to get some. They are very good, but I imagine yours are best because they are straight from the trees.
ReplyDeleteI love your robin and cloud pictures!
Hope mangoes available in your area are sweet like you dear Jenny :)
Deleteyes having fresh fruit right from gardens is different thing yet not possible for all
back in my village which is famous for most juicy oranges a,apricot and many other fruits it was so easy and taken granted to have fresh fruits in approach
but here we have to wait until they come to market ,still this is relief that they arrive fresh in our hands withing few days
Mangoes and dates must be such lovely treats this time of year.
ReplyDeleteOh WOW...I have never seen anything so beautiful as those mango trees!!
ReplyDeleteAnd, yes, looking up at the light shining through the trees is indeed sacred...makes you feel close to The Creator, doesn't it?!😊😊
I love the bird on the tanker too...such fabulous artwork!!
Believe it or not, I have never tried a mango - but that is about to be rectified now...and dates I do like, very much.😊
Your robin and cloud pictures are delightful, dearest Baili. Such a beautiful country you live in!
All my love and hugs ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Oh you never had mango dear Ygraine ?
Deletei hope you have some reason for this my dear friend
rays approaching through branches splendidly burst in mesmerizing colors and take hold of my nerves for long ,this seems some kind of spiritual experience :)
I have just learned how much I enjoy mangoes in a smoothie drink, Baili, so would really enjoy being where they are plentiful. Dates have always been a favorite since my childhood. Thanks for the information on both things I also like very much! Also, Grenville (Pat) thanks you for the birthday wishes.
ReplyDeletein summers mango and sugarcane are popular juice here dear Dorothy :)
Deleteglad that you love it either
may you and pat see many more glorious birthdays together ahead my friend :)))
I enjoyed seeing your photographs.
ReplyDeleteThose date trees look lovely, and the bird on the tanker is colourful.
All the best Jan
thank you dear Jan!
DeleteDear Baili, and may the Holy Oneness of All Creation of Whom you and I are all of us are a part bless you also. Peace.
ReplyDeletesuch a joy to learn that you too realize the wholeness and oneness of this whole scenario called EXISTENCE dear Dee :)
Deletei felt it in my childhood and by the time it opened up to me overwhelmingly
this BONDING is strength of my life
Today is just to say I'm back
ReplyDeleteMangoes and dates are some of my favorites. Mango juice with milk sounds good.
ReplyDeleteLove what you said about motherhood reminding us of God's love. The day my son was born, I felt like I finally understood why God would create us. In so many ways we are a bother, so what was the point of our creation? Having kids (or others to care for) reminds us that we were created to love.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures!
thank you dear Elizabeth
Deletei either think that we are here to CREATE and to TO CARE WHAT IS ALREADY CREATED
YES WE ARE MOMS :) BASICALLY YOU KNOW
Date trees are growing very tall and mangoes look so good.
ReplyDeleteDates and mangoes are my favorite fruits, Baili.
It's really lovely cloudy scenery on the river.
sweetest mangoes and one of the most delicious dates grow in our area dear Evi :)
DeleteThe date gardens look lovely, Baili. It sounds like there is a process in growing them. You know, I love dates, and haven't had them in a long time. They are good for baking Yummy desserts. The mangos look delicious. That's interesting that you add milk to the mango juice to make it creamy. I always enjoy seeing the different foods and flowers in your area, dear Baili.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the last of these July days.
~Sheri
Oh you like dates ! either i like them a lot since years they were my favorite fruit until i had to stop having them often because of stomach issues
Deletei wish i can send you dates my friend
actually main reason to add milk is to balance their warm effect on blood as they are rich in calories
Lovely food both mangoes and dates.
ReplyDeleteNice to see the photos.
I always enjoy seeing the photos of your countryside, Baili! I'd love to frolic in the date orchard like a little goat. These days I'd love to feel more frolicly. I miss the energy and limberness of being a child! But, no matter how old I get, I will always feel that sunlight peeking through trees is magical. Your sons are getting so tall!! Hugs to you!
ReplyDeleteWonderful pictures! I love seeing the trees all lined up in rows. So lovely there.
ReplyDeleteYour post is lovely and captivating. Your photos are a gift :-)
