welcome winter
15 degree celisius here yesterday morning ... that is hot water bottle heating pad weather !!
The locals, including myself are enjoying wearing our winter clothes, at least for part of the day.
We had rain, last week, as predicted, heavy seas.
All's well now, a fantastic day .
Trees, vines, bamboo, and more, ! grow fast and tall around here.
From one season to the next the amount of direct sun on the patio and house is less and less.
Shade is good , but with the cool wind comes overcast sky and little sun .
Like Chesley Farm in Aldergrove BC, trees are in your life .. big time !
This morning I found an open package of crackers scattered over the kitchen floor.
Whatever animal it was had to crawl into the cupboard to dig them out.
Mapache, or Tajon, Racoon/Possom/ monkey like creatures .
It obvioulsy doesn't care for crackers and hopefully won't come back !
The bag of Tostadas was next to my bed, unopened.
I slept through the whole thing !
There is also a new visitor living in the pitch of the roof over the front gate.
He has to move on ...
I'm way behind on some of the winter preperations.
I've been focusing on finishing the Casita, and it's coming along great !!
Photos to follow ...
School vacation soon, and lots of activities to keep the students busy.
Very difficult to be joyful without Maestro Pedro.
But, we must and we do.
Hopefully this coming year will bring lots of positive changes to all 3 schools.
Primary School now has a full staff of 6, but the Library had to be sacrificed
for a class room.
That didn't get our Volunteer Librarian discouraged, and she continues on with
reading groups, and plans for more .
It takes devotion and energy and time to be a part of the Yelapa Community,
but also very rewarding !!
There is another Volunteer ESL with me at Seondary and she is here for the season.
We will definetly be working together but I plan on a little break to focus on other
progects.
I sent 15 litres of Racialla off to Mexico City, destined to a grand wedding fiesta
in Acapulco ! Yelapa visitors I met a few years back, and they were determined to
have Chacala Moonshime at their wedding. How fun is that ??!!
Glad I could help !
I haven't been paying the same attention to my blog since my Dad died July 2014 .
My goal before Christmas is post photos, many you may have seen before on fb or
instagram,, but many you haven't.
My next goal is to print copies of my Poetry Book.
I'd also like to publish it as an e-book.
My BBQ Chicken business venture took of with a bang, really exciting !!
A LOT of challenges, expected and unexpected .. many lessons to be learned ...
working relationships, co ordination, transportation and delivery ..
Business slowed down around US Thanksgiving, but building up slow and steady ...
Great Product, Great crew of people working together, doing a great job.
The rest will have to come on its own ..
Cozy up everyone ... winter is here ...
