I know; doesn’t inspire too much right now. But the structure gets a little more solid every day.
I’m posting this now so I can link back to it later. It’s gonna be awesome 😉

This year’s volunteers
Our country property included two pig houses, one collapsing. When I took the latter apart, I discovered volunteer zapallos (I think; some kind of squash at any rate). You might recall my fascination with the volunteer zapallos last year.
At some point, I will take up the neighbor’s offer to plow the area between here and the house for a garden, in exchange for letting him graze cattle on our land. Meanwhile, I can be happy that part of my garden has already planted itself.
Fracking in Uruguay
All of the trees are disappearing from across the road from our ‘little piece of paradise.’
A neighbor tells me a lawyer in Montevideo owns 35 hectares (86.486884 acres, but you knew that) he is turning into a fraccionamiento (sub division) of 3.5 hectare lots. That seems like a pretty clever idea. Many newcomers here would love to have 8.5 acres with easy access to beach, town, etc.
I don’t have strong feelings one way or the other. Yet.
Ya veremos. We’ll see.
Meanwhile footings have been added, floors torn up, walls getting repaired, and a concrete beam (visible) cast to stabilize an old and bouncy flat roof.
