In Spain, Autumn is Green .:. Saturday Walk

To not break up in half like the orange from the first image in this post, I decided to keep my weekends more relaxed... I still do some work, but trying to keep it to a minimum... It wasn't an easy habit to "create" as almost all my life I was working for myself... And when you work for yourself, you are the worst boss ever...

It was work 24/7 for me, and in a certain period of time, I would work until late hours, have just a few hours of sleep, etc... Long story short, it was bad... I was stressed about everything and it was time to pull the break and slow down, or I would explode (like that orange 😀)

1665262830090.jpg

After making that decision, I'm finally happy when my weekends are coming... :) I have never understood people who would hate Mondays as for me, all days were the same... But now, I do see a difference and that means that I'm successfully keeping my weekends loose...

1665262830085.jpg

What does that mean? Well, I do most of my work during the mornings, so my afternoon and evenings are almost 100% free... I say almost, as I do play a bit of Splinterlands and Rising Star in the meantime... :) Okay, maybe I do check some market orders, but that's it!

1665262830033.jpg

Today was a similar day and I kept my late afternoon for the best of Saturday, my daily walk! This time, I took a longer route which lasted almost 2 hours, but it was relaxing... I didn't plan to take this many pictures, tbh, I didn't plan to take, but I just couldn't resist with so many beautiful things to shoot :)

1665262830027.jpg

As you can see oranges are still green, and nisperos (medlar) are slowly starting to form fruits and there is still that specific smell of its flowers...

1665262830110.jpg

Some of the olives are ready for harvest, but some others are still "dual-colored" like those in the photo above...

1665262830011.jpg


It's interesting that it was very windy when I left my home for a walk... As a matter of fact, you can see it in the photo with flags, but on my way back home, two hours after it was almost NO wind at all... This is very often the case in this part of Spain and almost every early morning and evening, there is no wind... and the sea can be very calm... sometimes you have a feeling that it's a big lake...

1665262830141.jpg

As usual, in every walk, I spot some weird things and for today, we have this measuring meter that someone forgot who knows when on this fence...

1665262830126.jpg

1665262830131.jpg

The most popular fruit that you can meet in "the gardens" are oranges, but there is one big field of lemon trees and you can see it in the photo below... It is too early for lemons to have lemon fruit, but you can notice new branches on the trees colored light green! It's a pity that my mobile phone can't make this image more real as it looks awesome!

Just 2-3 years ago, this "ranch" was abandoned, but luckily, someone bought it... and even more, luckily, it kept this awesome entrance, with the old gate, and the name of the property! I don't know why, but I like how it looks and it reminds me of one of my favorite movies, Young Frankenstein... (not sure if there is some gate that looks like this, but it brings memories about it...😃)

1665262830100.jpg

I had to do another photo, from a different angle, just to catch those fantastic sun rays through the trees...

1665262830095.jpg

Speaking of sun rays, you will see a lot of them in the next photos as the evening was coming and it was time to take some sunset pictures... :)

1665262830038.jpg

Fist photos that you can see are of the Ermita de Sant Isidre...

1665262830044.jpg


After those, you can see many others, like this one with mountains in the back...

1665262830054.jpg

...or palm trees... (I know that many of you like when photos of palm trees... 😃)

1665262830019.jpg

1665262830116.jpg

1665262830059.jpg

...or this one with the sun on the road, where sun rays are splitting this photo into two parts...

1665262830080.jpg


And for the end, a couple more, one of my favorites...

1665262830064.jpg

1665262830074.jpg

1665262830049.jpg

So, Saturday is over, but we still have another weekend day to enjoy! How did you spend your Saturday and what plans do you have for tomorrow? Any excursion to nature? A good movie night? Dinner with loved ones?

Thank you for your time,

~ph~

What a nice walk and beautiful photos. It's true that when we work for ourselves we can become the worst boss, and sometimes it's difficult to draw that necessary line between work and time to relax.
It was quiet here on Saturday, we went out for lunch but not much else because it has been raining cats and dogs for a few days now due to a tropical wave.
Have a happy Sunday!

Thank you for your kind words! I didn't experience a tropical wave, but from your words, I suppose it's boring when it rains for days... What is the best time of the year when you have the sunniest days?

Have an awesome Sunday!

Caracas tends to have very good weather all year round, sunny days are the norm here. During hurricane seasons in the Caribbean, sometimes we are affected by tropical waves and heavy rains as at this time, but they are usually for short periods.
Happy Sunday to you too :)

Well, if it is just for short periods, then you are fine!

Spain is such a beautiful country! Unfortunately, I've never been there in the Autumn.
It's important to find a good balance between work and time to recharge. Especially as a self-employed person this is not easy... You did it, congratulations.

We used Saturday to prepare everything for a little weekend trip and today we're off. A little time out before the end of year stress.

Well, it's good when you have customers... Without them, I suppose that you wouldn't have your job... :) Do you have some another free day during the week?

Yes, I know it... No customers = no job. 😅I usually just get free time at night and it's around 3-5 hours only before need to fight another day. Same as what u say, "It was work 24/7 for me". I get a free day just IF no customer on that day 🤣

What a beautiful weekend with a breathtaking place. Perhaps it is really very important to relax, so we would not break up like the lemon on the image. Happiness is indeed a choice, and it is up to as on how we would make most of our life in a day. I wish you bright days ahead and take care my dear friend.

I think that it's time that you take some vacations in this direction!
Luxembourg is nice, but I suppose that the weather is similar to Dutch... and I wasn't too happy with it during the Hive Fest... 😂

I totally understand the dilemma of working for yourself and that your time is never really your own as you feel obliged to not have boundaries, but they are healthy so I'm glad you're regaining your weekends!

To be honest I've never seen an orange split in half like that before, why does that happen?

You got some wonderful snaps and it really does seem like you have a great walk and chill out session. I had one yesterday too. I think that we forget sometimes that a little break can make all the difference.

That's a really good question, but unfortunately, I have no idea why (and how) that happened... 😃

I think that we forget sometimes that a little break can make all the difference.

It means a lot! I'm really lucky and grateful that I can stop, take a rest, have a walk, and enjoy the moment... I know that many people are busting their asses 0-24 (like I did in the past), but I was missing the point by doing that... That's not living...

Glad to hear that you had a walk and chillout time, too!

It's so strange, there probably is a reason for it to do with water uptake or some such. I'll look it up.

You are going to be so much happier having done that, we all need the balance and working 24/7 is not going to do well. I'm also trying to find more balance, some days I get it right and some days I don't. There always seems to be more than I can do in a day lol.

Have a great week ahead 😁
