When it rains, it pours!!  Especially if you live down here in Toledo, Belize.  These are actually pictures from last week!  Surprisingly, it has dried up again(!) and it hasn’t rained for about 6 days now. Well, there was a lot of  water everywhere!!  Here are some pictures to show you  what we mean by a lot of water…

The duckie pond in the Zen coop is full again…we were supposed to re-do this one this year but did not find the time to get to it.  It is lined with thick construction plastic (which the duckies have scratched up) and then it has been lined with rocks.  When it rains everyday (which happens at this time of the year) it will get completely filled up like this.  As it gets drier, the water does leak out of the holes in the construction plastic so it doesn’t hold water perfectly.  We’ll have to sort this one out next year.

This year the big pond did not dry up.  The water is high again…but the silly geese have forgotten that it exists again…we will have to lure them here with a corn trail…

Oh, and this year it has been re-stocked with tilapia thanks to Panda.  We can go fishin’ in the new year!!  (Panda’s doing okay by the way…last time we talked to him (which was a few days ago) he said that he felt fresh and ready to get on with things on the farm).

These are puddles that are more like little ponds…so you can understand why we wear wellies all the time.

Okay, so we are still up to our ears in trying to finish last minute construction and the wood that we had bought (tambran) has got black mold growing on it already.  We still have to keep on going…rain or shine!!
