what used to be a bit of a scary time in the boat with bubba are now easy to handle these hope it rains stormlets. here we only need to make sure the patio doesnot flood into the house. i donot like floods. haha. and we check bathroom ceiling for roof leaks. we do have one. is getting bigger. tomorrow the concreta guy comes to let me know what we need to do when we can do it and how much i will need to pay out.
this lovely rain didnot last long.. but it did come down nicely. i will check how much i caught in the morning. this was a 1 hour storm. usually tormentas last 2 hours to 4.
the wind is shredding 2 of my platano leaves… . i didnt realize my banana trees would grow quite this beautifully tall. and more so… the shredding leaves get caught on the drain pipe out of the roof.
we will be trimming the mango tree very soon. it has grown geenormous. is taking over the world.
i harvested some of my sweet potatoes. they need to sit for at least 2 weeks to cure. some are big, some are small. i harvested 6 and there are at least 5 more out there. . will add potatoes to the garden. the soil on that part of garden is really good now. maybe i can mix it with plain brown dirt for macetas for herbs and flowers out front. we have a heavy clay type soil with spots of sandy soil.. those mix nicely for decent growing. i have been thinking of placing concrete blox in front with basil, chiles, and other items, maybe flowers, growing out there.
when it rains here the only sound is the storm. is lovely. but i miss bubu in these. he didnt love lightning and thunder. he really didnt like the boat being pushed over by the strong winds. and the sound of the wind in the rigging scared him . he would lie on my chest until the noises stopped and the rain went away.
maybe i can put pix of the patio trees in here tomorrow….
