Hot and Dry!

Yes, this exactly how I feel. It has been hot and dry! So what has been happening. We have been stuck on the farm for the whole week because our truck is getting fixed up. The rear bumper is “rotten bad” and the side panels have been flapping out for a long time. We left our truck in Belmopan on Monday and took the chicken bus back to PG; it was a six hour journey which felt like it would never end! The music was on full blast for the entire time…luckily towards the end the music mellowed out into easy listening Spanish folk songs.

Anyway, we don’t mind being on the farm with no wheels. We like being here and there are lots of things to be done. I have taken a few pictures around the farm so you can see what is happening.

This patch is getting bigger:

Everything is flowering right now. This is the cinnamon:

The suriname cherries are looking very pretty with the white flowers:

In my last post, I mentioned that we were starting our crepuscular routine which means being active during dawn and dusk so that we can work during the coolest parts of the day. I have noticed that the cat is following suit…as soon as it starts getting light in the morning at about 6.30am, he has found a cool spot to sleep until 5pm. However, I am not quite sure when he is actually active! At 5pm, he waits confidently by his dinner plate for food to be dished out to him and by 8pm he is looking for another sleep spot.

Gnome mentioned that the cat was getting fat.

This was my reply:

“…oh, he has big bones and most of it is fur!” (Ha-Ha!!)

Anyway, he does look very healthy:

Oh to have the life of a cat…
