It's already the first of the month here so I thought I'd share a few of my March highlights. Last month was exactly what I expected it to be—relaxed and easy. I had fewer tasks from other sites, which gave me more time to watch movies and TV shows. I saw 8 movies and I think 7 shows. I watched The Night Agent, a new show with good acting from new faces and The Whale, starring Brendan Fraser, who recently won an award for it but I wasn't really wowed by the story. I also helped the kids with their schoolwork—wrote a chapter on research for my niece, nephew asked me to draft something for a school paper, and another nephew I tutor got a perfect score on his major exam last week. A little farm update—the variety of fruits visible from our kitchen window is promising. We sold durians, coconuts, and cacaos early last month. And we're also excited to babysit new piglets very soon. Our two mama pigs appear to be so ready to give birth. Finally, I'm getting ready for my next house project. My hand injury in February set me back for about a month with my house plans, so no DIYing this time. I've been doing a lot of online window shopping lately cause I didn't wanna go out too much but I'm going furniture shopping in town this Sunday or next. Photo is mine.

Love those beautiful red roses. We are still in March, one more day until April. New piglets sound very exciting.

@CarolDM Thank you. Pigs are becoming increasingly uneasy. It could happen any day now.

April will be here in about 7 hours. You did a lot in the month of March. Piglets are so much fun. When I was growing up I would go to my great aunt and uncles farm and help them plus getting a break from all my siblings. The piglets and peacocks was my favorite creatures to take care of.

I've seen peacocks in a zoo before and they're phenomenal. We had cows when we were kids. I witnessed them give birth a couple of times and bottle feed the babies. Now I'm excited for our pigs.

I hope so. I'm hoping I only have to visit one or two stores.

You're so busy. I understand you have a farm. I like also to have a garden but unluckily, we don't have enough space here, and we only have paved roads and pavements. Good luck with your projects. I am sure you will be successful. Good luck! Those roses are so beautiful, by the way. Thank you for sharing the pic.

Thanks, Jenaisle.

We renovated the house last year and I've been redecorating the interior ever since. Prior to that, I was solely focused on nothing but online work. I'm also actually not hands on when it comes to the farm side of things. I only take care of the house. I wish I could though cause I've been really wanting to have a proper vegetable garden. My mama planted several vegetables around the house but they're scattered, harvesting them is a bit challenging. I've read that vertical gardening is a great solution for those who have limited space in their homes. What kinds of plants do you want to grow?

Good choices.

I'd love to grow all of those, as well as herbs. One day.

@MGjhaud Vegetables, eggplant, tomatoes, string beans, red pepper, and similar products. A vertical garden is a good suggestion..

A bit dragging in the middle. I wasn't thrilled to be honest. The plot was different from what I expected after watching the trailer. What kinds of shows do you like to watch?

I've seen it and didn't enjoy it.

Probably too many dull moments and flashbacks. I was really excited to watch it because of Taylor Kitsch but he didn't get much exposure.

@MGjhaud I saw Chris Pratt’s Terminal List. It was so good

You did the research chapter for your niece? Why didn't she do it? Wasn't it her homework? I don't understand why you are doing their homework. I'm glad you will have wonderful fruit from your garden soon and piglets to babysit. I'm glad your hand is healing.

I did. I'm always willing to help and she only asks when she really needs it. Thanks. We're hoping for more harvest this month.

Thank you, Icydoll! The photo was taken last month. They were lovely. I'm hoping to find everything I need in one place. It's hard for me to walk very long.
