I joined a blog Figs-N-Things due to my keen interest in growing figs.  One of the members I met online has many beautiful gifts and is so eager to share.  She lives on the Philippine Island of Cebu.  Shortly following their marriage, she and her husband purchased a hector (100 square acres) of land from her new husband's parents.  Wilma lives a very tranquil life growing much of her food and meat on their land.  She recently posted a video as her rooster could be heard crowing in the background.  One of her many talents is photography.  I look forward to her daily postings,  She makes tea from dried fig leaves.  Another post was fig and pistachio ice cream.  Her photo is posted with a quote "Grow figs and discover its many uses and benefits from leaves to fruits".

The photo of the church Wilma is a member first met under the leaves of Coconut tree to protect the members from the sun.  Wilma and her husband donated thirty square meters of land for a church which now sets at the edge of their property.  Wilma is a very devout christian as you can see, just a very interesting person I am privileged to call my friend.
