On a Whim in Nicaragua

Hey Everyone....look what I got....grape vine....just got to get it started a little first.                Thanks Lena for your contribution to the garden. I will try to do it proud and hope it grows like those tree posts to one day look like these......   In further news there is a donation of $50 coming from the Angels of Cape May... I must start thinking about what the garden needs.....Big thanks to all of you! I downloaded and checked out some information on gardening in the tropics.  It is a bit different here.  From what I can tell there are 2 growing seasons grow the same things but also things that also grow in one or the other.  I have a few things that are settled and ready for transplanting to the garden in October when the rains come. Check back to volunteer when rainy season approaches.

Welcome to my June 2017.... As you see my style and setup keeps changing.  I still haven't found one I like.   I am also working on some collections.  I experimented again with a doodle a day....fruit this month.  I realize now, I do not know how to draw 31 different fruit. So for next month I will go find a doodle a day type challenge. This journal has one more month in July and then it will be full....I already have this one ready to setup for August....just organizing and figuring out the best way to have a go at it.   Stay tuned....for July 2017 coming up...that will be month 4 of this journey...never made it this far with a journal, forging new ground.

A lot has changed for me but at the same time nothing has changed....hmmmm I applied to become a resident of Nicaragua on Monday...huge step in my life path.  I have found that a number of items on this path were in no way, shape or form in my childhood fantasy life or even on my adult bucket list.  I had never given much thought to what is actually required to "retire in another country and live by the ocean".  There is a lot of authenticated paperwork, police stations, interpol...fingerprints, business plans, employee plans, visits to Managua and much more that slips through without much notice. About a week ago I completed a YTT 300 with Rebecca Hagman.  It was challenging, but rounds out 620 hours of training I took with her over the last 3 years.  120 hours of thai massage and 500 hours of yoga.  I have read numerous books which you can find on my library page.  Now I just want to read fluff for a month or 2....
