We have been waiting for the “Iguana Rains” for two days now. At 5pm today we had a slight drizzle but not enough to fill two large water tanks. C’mon then…let’s have a downpour, if not for us, but for the sake of the iguana population; they need wet ground to lay their eggs:
The Zazen duckies are also calling for rains through space and time; they need clean water for daily ablutions in the Zen Garden…it is imperative that the dabbling duckies are cleansed for meditation…
And the Paradise Piggies (aka Jedi Piggies, aka Ewok piggies…not officially, mind you) have jumped on the band wagon and are weee-weee-ing for water too.
It’s all in the name of a good cause!
Anyone know a Rain Dance that is guaranteed to work…100% scientifically proven, double-blind trial?!
We’ve been working all weekend to get our new gutters up to catch the rains tomorrow.
It has been soooo hot and dry lately…as they say here in Belize, “The heat punish me.” The other morning, Gnome left the house and said that he was going to mow around the farm. He was gone for a fair bit and I didn’t hear the motor starting so I went to look for him. Well, he certainly wasn’t mowing because the cat had nicely settled down for the day!
So what’s our latest tout…or clout? Not only do we have Zazen duckies but we have Zazen soap! I have noticed that at some point, when we have done enough hours of an activity (Yes that 10000 hours thing), it evolves into an art. The other day, we had a moment of clarity whilst mixing up soap; we realised that by clearing our head of the internal dialogue (you know…the usual blah blah blah voice in your head) the soap mixes perfectly with no hitches. In contrast to this, when we are feeling chaotic, we get early thickening of the mixture and lumpy bits so that the soap has to be poured in haste. There you go…The Zen of Soap making by Munchkin and Gnome!!
Hello Everyone!! I have not been so regular with writing the Blog lately due to…the weather of all things! It has been dull with thick grey clouds which block the sunlight. When it gets like that I just feel, “Ugh!” and Gnome reacts with, “Oh, dear!!” and then we start a fine merry-go-round of ranting and complaining!
Our Goosie has finally given us permission to place an ad for him in this Lonely Heart’s post. His long term partner died three years ago of death-by-doggie and he now thinks that it is time to seek a new partner.
On Monday evening we had an Elixir Tasting with Dandelion Chocolate, a company from California. Greg D’Alesandre heads the group every year at Cotton Tree Lodge. This year’s tasting was much the same with general fun, laughs and disruption (of course!) from Greg. We attempted a “controlled brawl” under medical supervision (Ha-Ha!). 😉
