walking through the central american jungle
Lenin and I go to the creek to keep from being bored in the house. We hike north through forests of coffee and bananas to get to the waterfall. The dark green bushes to the right are coffee plants.

he started overturning rocks
The whole creek was full of pollywogs and I was busy trying to catch them. Meanwhile, Lenin was busy overturning rocks. I supposed he was looking for crawdads. But oh, was I wrong! Apparently there are fresh water crabs in the creeks of Nicaragua!

showing me that it´s a female
He wanted to take it home to give it to Mamita to cook. I convinced him, though, to let it go as one crab would barely be a mouthful.

we returned to the house and took photos of our garden
The above ground garden that Lenin and I created for Mamita. The green beans are doing great!

and so are the radishes
We planted both white icicle radishes and red radishes.

the onion bulbs from the Cahails
The bulbs from the Cahails are doing a lot better than the seeds... but the onion seeds are growing, too!

a parting headshot with the garden
With seeds provided by the Moropoto Women´s Seed Bank and viewers like you....
I kinda miss PBS.
