It has been a lively few weeks here. One of my recent challenges has been dealing with a new inhabitant of my houe: a possum. It has been living in my roof and made his presence intolerable when he began peeing in my house from the rafters. Tha precipitated me getting the neighbors involved. The first night I brought my neighbors over they poked at my roof with a stick and chased the possum out into a tree where it hung out until they started chopping at it with a machete so it ran off into the grass and we couldn´t find it to kill. The next night four Paraguayans came over and climbed onto my roof to scare it out with machetes and slingshots and scared it out of the roof again. I haven´t seen it again yet so I´m happy with that!
I also just bought a pig. Yes, a pig. It is living at my neighbors house and we will be fattening it up to butcher for my family´s visit in June when we will barbecue it.
My garden is looking pretty good right now. I have little lettuce, basil and strawberry plants already and my raddishes, carots, onions, peppers, dill, and sunflowers have sprouted. I´m going to plant tomatoes, cabbage, and swiss chard this afternoon. Plus I´m busy collecting tree seeds to start a nursery in part a corner.
