Letter to Julia 20130420

In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.

Hello there, my beloved Julia.  How are you feeling today?  I have been cutting grass on the plot of land where, inshaAllah, I hope to build Casa de Julia someday soon.  Please pray with me that Allah grants us so.  It rained recently, so the grass is growing madly.  I don't spend as much time as I want preparing this land because I have to tend to my parents as well.  But they are out of town right now, so I have 2 weeks to ready their house for them.  Meantime, I'm trying to do what I can to make this land pretty.  I have 3 plots of adjacent land to tend to, so I don't have enough strength to keep up with the growth, but I try my best.  There is a fallen banana tree with fruit that I have to pick up, and a lot of raking and burning. I have a few trees to chop down, but I think I only have time for one right now.  Then I have to tend my own yard, then switch my attention to my parents' house.  Whew.  It never ends.  I think I feel lazy now.  Wanna make out?
