signs of life


The beans have sprouted!


I snapped this shot of the building early morning, on my way back from inspecting the field to observe the ant hills and see which of my techniques seem to be working in managing them, so they don't decimate the new seedlings.



Looking towards the north over the corn mingla, which I discovered had also sprouted on this morning walk.  I'm now on my way north, and then east, to go visit family and Stevan is in central Mexico.  I  left things as best I could, and an excited arugula eater in town is watering the canal gardens while we're gone.  All there is to do now is hope that the new growth keeps on growing while we are gone....

I'm hoping to post some writing soon about my adventures the last few days.  A few days solo here has proved to be a helpful boost in my confidence in more ways than one, and have left me with some entertaining encounters to share.   More soon!
