It begins, the cold nights and fresh mornings, brings a warm, almost hot, day.   While i was out busily building our new chicken tractor, i was listening to the song of the house martin.  It was perched up on the electricity wire that joined to my house.  I stopped in wonder from hammering, to admire the beautiful song it was gifting me.  At that moment i realised the beauty and powerful meaning of that moment.  I looked across at the field to the new mother goats, to see them watching their young, jumping and frolicking in the grass.  The wind turbines up on the mountain top were slowly spinning, and the fresh clouds were piercing through, the sound was quiet, the air was still, what a wonderful time to be alive. I finished the frame of the chicken tractor. It measured in at 3x3 meters, and 1/2 a meter tall.  I then went round my garden fence to find any existing chicken wire that wasn't being of any use anymore, and pulled ...

    Good day to one and all...   It has been a while since my last post on accommodation in our area, just a small reminder of the wonderful places to visit and stay when you come to the hidden mountains of Serra do Açor.   I am a mother, musician, teacher, artist, chef, designer, hairdresser, beauty therapist and much more, the list goes on.    My blog primarily is for showing my art and crafts with the hope of sharing my visions with the world.   I have come here to live with my family a life of learning, change and opportunity for my children.  This country and its people have shown us great kindness, hospitality and a sense of family.

Summer has been long, hot and wonderful

 Dearest friends, hasn't it been hot this summer.  It certainly has been a weird summer in terms of heat and long lasting sun.  I can feel a slight change now though, especially as the 100kilo of potatoes is almost out of the ground, and the mountain of tomatoes are yet to be processed. Rain is due tomorrow, 14th september, we'l see if the weather company get it right. Today I harvested the black beans and the flageolet beans. I have also processed some of the tomatoes in salt water waiting to ferment.  Fermenting is my new thing.  I have been making fermented tomato salsa, fermented cabbage/sauerkraut, fermented whole tomatoes, anything I can get in a jar with salt I will try to ferment.  Its so quick and easy, rather than cooking up the tomatoes, and then canning them. In my house canning requires lighting the fire oven all day, and in this heat, its like a sauna all through my home.  Which i dont mind at all, but the other members of my family cant ...
