More glorious weather.
There's not enough hours in the day.
I'd like to spend more time in the campo with the animals but I'm doing a major overhall of our forums and gallery as well as other work. New updates to both software packages mean I need to redesign part of the layout and a domain name change keep me busy all day. Sorry if anyone's been trying to access our gallery - it's back online now.
Jane went to see the donkeys. A close up of Rosie.
There are lots of Robins in the area. They are very territorial and we can hear them clicking like a one fingered typist on an old mechanical typewriter. Jane got a good shot with zoom of a Robin that has a territory near where the donkeys live.
This is Verbascum. I can't remember it flowering this early before. It flowers on huge stems and has fleshy glaucous leaves.
We cooked a roast dinner of Benarrabá pork. You can taste the difference. If you live in the area buy your meat here rather than in supermarkets.
We watched 'The Final Season'. Directed by David M. Evans. With Sean Astin, Powers Boothe and Rachael Leigh Cook. Kent Stock (Sean Astin) disrupts his life to become coach of the Norway High School baseball team ... a true story. A very small town has a tradition of winning the IOWA state championship. Better than it sounds.
