Fruit Picking Fun - (FCK Cancer) YOUR upvote costs nothing, HELPS many!

in #nature6 years ago (edited)

Fruit Picking @ S&R Orchard Perth WA

This morning @shai-hulud and I were pleased to receive a random invite out fruit picking with some close friends and their children. We hadn't seen them since 2017 and had planned to venture out sometime during the day for a walk or hike, so this was perfect.

It combined walking, socialising, food and fun. Added bonus we left with just over a kilo of nectarines and plums per adult for the grand price of $10 each. Bargain! They even had bouncy castles for the kids and wagon rides for the whole family.

See those beautiful curls, he is cutting them all off to raise money to find a cure for leukaemia. He and I will donate all SBD raised from all posts with (FCK Cancer) in the title until early MARCH, check us out and upvote generously for a great cause.

We are also sending his hair off to be made into a wig for a child suffering from hair loss associated with leukaemia. He has been growing it for over 5 years now. I can honestly tell you we are both a bit scared of what he's going to look like...

See our problem! We are aiming to raise $2,500 AUD, which is approx $400 SBD, a whale or two, five dolphins or ten to twenty minnows or 100+ plankton, no matter what the mix you can all help us help others, an upvote costs you nothing and it could help me buy a beanie for that head... Just Jokin, he can freeze all that money is for the kids. lol...

Too much fruit for anyone person to consume.
Many too high for me to reach.

After we filled our bags, we picked a row not yet ripe for the picking and set up a picnic to devour some fruit and a sausage in a bun from the obligatory sausage sizzle.

Rows and rows as far as the eye can see of trees soon to be harvested.

The STEEM Engine

Why am I on Steemit?

I recently started a blog called Insideout Ostomy Life to raise awareness around chronic illness and ostomy’s, it won WEGO Health’s Rookie of the Year Award in 2017. @insideoutlet gives me opportunity to reach more readers while exploring all aspects of my creativity.

What’s special about steemit?

Steemit is a platform that you can earn cryptocurrency from when you engage with it. One Steem is now worth approx. 4USD, and can be earned easily by:
• Creating original content (articles, blog posts, podcasts, videos, photos)
• Upvote (Like) other people contents. sounds a bit like something I know.
• Comment on other people's posts, etc. Again, I think you may already be doing this.

The toughest thing is in the world to get annnnn upvote of a whale on your content but still not impossible, Good Luck Man.

haha, thanks, tough but not impossible and I really don't expect one too but no harm in asking lol. Thanks for commenting. Any upvote is appreciated for a good cause.

I Love what you and hubby do! Keep it up, persistence is the key!

Thanks, that's what I figure, persistence is key! You are doing great!

You should probably try contacting a few. Some of them are mostly distant and unresponsive but some are great. And you only need one in order to have a supstantional gain from upvotes.

A few? Bots or whales?

Haha, whales. But sometimes whales do feel like bots. 😂

hahaha I don't know any whales lol.. If I did, how would I "contact" them?

Well you could search on discord. The PAL server has a few. You could try contacting them through a memo by sending 0.001 SBD, but i wouldnt recommend that. Or just talk to your friends. One of them probably knows a whale.
You can always try and go for a witness but then you would need a real program ready with a much larger idea.
They will respond most of the times.

All fantastic ideas! Thanks. I am on Discord. Will have a look around.

This comment has received a 0.29 % upvote from @speedvoter thanks to: @metallo, @metallo.

You are working for a fantastic cause which is really inspirational. gave you my 100% upvote, will resteem this and also put it in my curation post so more people can become aware of the nice work you are doing. Good luck!

wow, thank you, we really appreciate that, every bit helps! I hope to have a video up pre-shave of us straightening it lol.

I was sitting here thinking “how is she picking apples” until I realized you are south of the equator. Duh. Great cause. Good luck.

Haha yes very south. They are nectarines, we also got plums too. Thanks for checking it out.

Must be fun to pick fruits when the trees are low... I have an apple tree and it´s high... so I need to have a ladder to harvest them.

There were heaps of nectarines we couldn't reach. They had machines for those one lol. It was good as the kids could pick them too. They loved it.

Love your post and the cover picture. Reminds me of being in the midwest with apple orchards. That's the first time I saw your husband. He is doing a cool thing.

Thanks, I think he is doing a great thing too, lucky hair grows back for most of us lol.. They do look like apples don't they, they are actually a stone fruit, a nectarine.

@insideoutlet... and @shai-hulud

You both are inspirational!!!

Can't wait to follow the head shaving event... It's gonna be gr8.

My plankton upvote is well deserved, just don't know how is my little vote gonna help. 😂😂😂

Hope to meet you guys someday. Bless both of your hearts!

Mel @coachmelleow

Every bit counts and we appreciate it. Thank you! I will be adding a video of his hair getting straightened to see just how long it is prior to shaving it all off.
