Sunshine

I am still struggling to figure out how to upload pictures.  Every few months I figure it out and then don't use my newfound knowledge for a few months and forget.

The sun is finally shining here!  We have been rained in and because of the rain, out of water(there is some irony there)every weekend this month.  The rain turns the road to mush which means the water truck can't get in until the road dries.  It is nice however to have some green hills to look at here in normally dry Baja.

I flew through Bible, history and math yesterday so we could spend the nicest part of the day planting strawberries, spreading compost and lovingly potting a kangaroo paw(a flower, not the foot of a mammal).  I do hope it all lives.  The soil here seems to be completely dead!  About half of what I plant dies, good thing most of it is free stuff.  Geraniums are the one thing that seem to do well.  That and my aloes which are rapidly making progeny.

We spent the hour before supper finishing up language and then after supper watched Lillies of The Field, with Sydney Poitier. It was fun to see all the cultures in this sweet movie.

I hope that all the things you planted grow nicely. I am sure that you must have a beautiful view from where you are.
Blessings,

If it makes you feel any better, in Alaska, we only have about two months to grow ANYthing.. and we're also very limited on what does okay what does not.

Hugs to you and your family!

The rain really does make everything a mess where we are too...the mud is sooooo bad! The children sure love it though :) Were you out of water period or out of drinking water? Do you have running water where you are? We finally have gotten use to drinking straight out of the tap. We were always out of drinking water and the water came so sporadically, so now we just drink out of the spigot if there is nothing else.
I can't wait to plant a garden. We are buying a small field next to our house right now and that's where we want to plant and have animals. Here, everything grows and well...you just have to make sure to water as it is so very hot and dry.
May the Lord continue to bless you all as you work in his field.
love,
Jaynee
