New Pictures 12/24/2015
Here are a few pictures of our beautiful house sinece the last update. The Municipality has finally (almost) finished the work in the street. What a mess. 3 months of dirt, dust and craziness. We have made a veggie planting area and Yvonne is populating it with seed and starts. Our across the street neighbor, Jaco is a new gardener. Making plants from seed makes him very proud. He's given Yvonne a number of interesting things including a "black tomato".
