Lounging in the hammock on the guest house porch I noticed a spindly twig of a tree with small fruit orbs at the top. It is a papaya. So far, have identified o-wanges, lime, and now papaya. There are also hibicus or similar and a rose.

Lime off of veranda. Scratch the skin with your nails to identify by smell.
Each citrus is distinctive. |

Some other plants are budding and should blossom within the next few days and weeks.
Lydia is getting more and more independent. "I do. I do. " She wants to do everything herself. After setting her on the potty, she got back up herself and made stinkies. I'm not sure if she actually did, she flushed before I could check. And it's getting very difficult to keep clothes on her, she's constantly stripping them off. "Naked girl".
Her and Josh are growing closer together, playing nicely together. It's so good to see. There's still some teasing and screaming, but not as much. We are all growing closer. This alone has made this trip worth it.
I am so happy to hear of your family closeness it is a touch of living in the paradise.
ReplyDeleteI hope you love it enough to move there - it may be hard to take this tropical paradise out of "the girl" -- Lydia seems to be born for this freedom to explore. Laughing. I look forward to your blogs and start my day with coffee and your adventures! Keeping you in my prayers.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Ann. We're enjoying ourselves but still need the encouragement to do this.
