Animals!!!!


These are the animals we have at the farm!!!

Iguanas. I called them monstruos once by accident. They are four feet long and terrifying.


Negrita, the leader of the cows, and the most fun to milk.

 Luna, the baby, a total sweetie. Still doesnt have milk, but she has not one but TWO pefect hearts on herself!
 Canela. Canela is preggers right now, she always sleeps on her own poop which is not fun to clean in the morning.
 Durazno, Razy for short. He fell asleep sitting up. I love him.
 Cornelia, because I promised my sister I would name a kitten Cornelius but I couln´t because Durazno was too peach colored to resist.
 The mama. I actually dont know her name and the kitten names I made up, they aren´t official. But I call her snuggle in English because she is a snuggler.
 Nita!!! She loves to go swimming with you in the stream and chase dragon flies.
 :) Now you are starting to see that the purpose of this post is kitten photos.
 A rooster. I am not a big fan, but they are pretty from a distance.

Sorry I know these posts are not exactly full of juicy information!!!! If you want to know the deets send me an email or letter. So far I received two letters!!!! If you want to make me happy on my birthday, mail is the way to go!!!!!

Proyectos

Hello friends and family!
I have around 4 hours free everyday and an afternoon and Sunday off every week. What do I do with this time? Here is a list!

I read, a lot. So far I am up to the 4th Harry Potter in Spanish, I read The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe in Spanish (and it had completely lost its charm because of my age), I listened to the audio book of The Help which is fantastic, and next up is La Isla Bajo el Mar by Isabel Allende.

I knit a sleeping bag for Lambie.

I made slippers out of a sweater that shrunk in the wash,

I built a milking bench.

We fixed tools one day.

And I play with the kittens and puppy!

It is too hard to move these pictures around, so think of it as a matching game!!!!
And remember, my address is on the blog now, so send me a letter!!!!

Pictures speak louder than words, I hope.

La Cumbrecita  (the outskirts)

Rainy day at the river. 

The little fair where we sell our veggies. (thats Nuria)

Milking!
Picnic at the river with crumble, salad, spanish omlette, and bread. 
(Those are Pablo and Maria Paz, my fellow workers.) 
Pablo crashed the car.
La Cumbrecita again.
