Bueno, estoy cambiando los viajes constantes por viajes más tranquilos y equipaje por ollas y tierra.  De hecho, estoy emocionado por este próximo paso en mi vida.  Viajé más en los últimos 6 años que la mayoría de las personas en toda su vida, por eso me siento muy afortunado.  Por supuesto, el viaje no ha terminado.  Simplemente no me voy a concentrar tanto en eso. ¡Es hora de la estabilidad!

Life has been quite the ride and it took me to this country often for the last five year. In fact, it became my favorite country ever. I've seen the Eiffel Tower more times then I can count and for that I feel extremely lucky. I have no clue when the next time might be that I get to see it again. ⠀

Greenhouses are a lot of fun and I enjoy tending t Greenhouses are a lot of fun and I enjoy tending the plants in mine. I can’t wait to build my second much larger greenhouse too! But what you don’t see is the need to water the plants at least twice (and sometimes time three times) a week, trying to keep it cool or warm, ensuring too much sun doesn’t get in, and the constant battle against would be big invaders, fungus, and disease. But ...I still love it! 

Los invernaderos son muy divertidos y disfruto cuidando las plantas en el mío. ¡No puedo esperar para construir mi segundo invernadero mucho más grande también!  Pero lo que no ve es la necesidad de regar las plantas al menos dos veces (y a veces tres veces) a la semana, tratando de mantenerlas frescas o calientes, asegurándose de que no entre demasiado sol, y la batalla constante contra insectos, hongos y enfermedades.  Pero ... ¡todavía me encanta!

El desierto nunca fue algo que me gusto especialmente hasta que visité Joshua Tree. Me enamoré absolutamente del desierto alto y de la increíble espiritualidad de todo.

Our property is forested so that’s possible. I made a salad out of everything but my fave thing we harvested is Common Blue Violets! The color is so pretty and they were delish! 

¡Por fin es primavera!  Y nos encanta.  Hoy fuimos a nuestro jardín  y buscamos plantas comestibles.  Nuestra propiedad está cubierta de bosques, por lo que eso es posible. ¡Hice una ensalada con todo, pero mi cosa favorita que cosechamos es Common Blue Violets! ¡El color es tan bonito y estaban deliciosos!

Sometimes you bite off more than you can chew. Yes Sometimes you bite off more than you can chew. Yesterday I saw this beautiful Chinese Palm and bought it. It looked like a decent size at the store but when we got it home, we realized it is massive. We could not find a place in our house where it didn’t look ridiculous. So now it lives on the front porch and will go in the greenhouse in winter.

Ayer vi esta hermosa palmera china y la compré.  Parecía un tamaño decente en la tienda, pero cuando lo llevamos a casa, nos dimos cuenta de que era enorme.  No pudimos encontrar un lugar en nuestra casa donde no pareciera ridículo.  Así que ahora vive en el porche delantero e irá al invernadero en invierno.

Lucky bamboo is a very common houseplant you can f Lucky bamboo is a very common houseplant you can find just about anywhere. But it’s not really bamboo. It’s scientific name is Dracaena sanderiana and it’s thought to increase feng shui. I got this one about a year ago on sale at a big box store and it was basically on death’s door. Now it’s grow three time as tall as it was and is doing just fine. 

El bambú de la suerte es una planta de interior muy común que puedes encontrar en casi cualquier lugar.  Pero no es realmente bambú.  Su nombre científico es Dracaena sanderiana y se cree que aumenta el feng shui.  Conseguí este hace aproximadamente un año en descuento en una tienda y estaba básicamente a las puertas de la muerte.  Ahora ha crecido tres veces más de lo que era y está bien.
