Hanging with my little guy in Rincon
If it weren’t for me being a chronic photo-taker, I don’t know if I would ever blog anymore. The pictures help me to remember what we have been up to which has been a lot of fun! We have been busy with visiting friends, the flower business continues to grow (literally haha), the cabana has been booked regularly and we have seen some cool sights as well. Aeden is growing up fast and at 7 months can now sit up on his own and eats sooo much regular food! Here are quite a few pictures that tell so much more than my hands can type.
Babies grow so fast! I had no idea. Compare 1 month to 6 months
Britton and Aeden at Rompeolas in Aguadilla
We have a bunch of new varieties of flowers coming in right now
Why is Britton usually carrying Aeden? Because he is huge in comparison to me! These pictures were taken at the same moment in time 🙂
And work -clearing out more underbrush and dead trees to plant fruit trees and flowers
One of Kitty’s last pictures 🙁
We buried him near the bridge so we can think of him every day. We miss you, Kitty. You were a good cat
I am also so saddened by the death of our former bandmate, drummer, artist, jokester and friend, Rob
We finished the concrete staircase that enters the jungle and added solar lights
At the pool of Casa Islena -Aeden loves kicking water
At the pool of Villa Montana too!
With his sweet little friend and our new friends
At the pool of Rincon of the Seas
With friends Tracy and Fernando
We’ve had some large orders of flowers lately!
And more and more keep growing like these gardenias
New variety of starfruit started growing on a tree we planted!
And our first ever Siam Rose flower bloomed! We weren’t sure about this one since it usually takes a lot more rain than Rincon gets
So I brought a bag of them to Roots Bar to see what magic Sashary can make with them!
So sad to see our good friends the Kersches move away (at Ode in Aguada)
We spend a lot of time outside on the farm with the munchkin
Manzano guineos as they ripen – apple flavored bananas! Not your typical store banana!
It’s a colorful time of year! Ornamental Turmeric Flower and caladium from our farm and a Reina de las flores in the market
Our little boy is growing up too fast!
Go where love grows! My two cowboys!
Palm Sunday procession in Rincon
Gecko visiting an ornamental banana flower
“Bienvenidos” is too cool! And a great part of Rincon
Stopped in at the Ag Fest in Mayaguez
And the ArtWalk -we don’t go out at night much anymore with the little guy
Fun seeing our friends Matt and Jamie again
And my friend from high school/Colorado, Sarah and her family at Villa Cofresi
And more bananas! These are the “Cuban reds”
More flowers! Double hibiscus and orchid
We also ate our first jaboticaba after about 4 years of waiting!
The gardens are really coming in beautifully!
Driving along in Mayaguez, this horse was standing there like “Am I not Magestic? You should take my picture!” So I did
Saw these ornate Don Quixote (I assume) carved figurines in a garden store!
Check out this stinky star flower I saw walking around too!
Papaya grows wild here! We didn’t plant this, but we sure did eat it! Tasted like cantaloupe
Well, that’s all folks! Until the next time!
Oh and here is Aeden’s 7 month update video! Enjoy!
The photos are cool! My favorite is the one of Aeden peeking around the wall. You can see his own little personality coming through, and his red hair….. I love it, too cute! The second favorite photo is of your gardenias. I left behind in California two 80+ year old gardenia bushes and I miss them immensely. I had them everywhere at my wedding, on my cake, in my hair and bouquet. When I saw yours, I smiled but at the same time, it made me a little sad too. I’ve seen them at several nurseries but they just don’t compare to the ones I had. I know I’m going to have break down and purchase a new one some time soon. Thanks for sharing the pics…
You guys are great. Lovely baby. So sad about you kitty. God bless you all..
