Neighborhood of Porto Martins



One tree was very interesting.  it seemed to be melting from the branches, and the flowers were cacti like.  Speaking of cacti, they are everywhere.  We even have a few in our yard.

We also have many farm animals surrounding us.  On both sides the neighbors have goats and chickens.  Yesterday, we had a big red hen in our yard.  Randy sneakily told Sarahjane it was a present to her (she wanted a chicken when we got here).

Margharida and John have 9 cows in their yard, including 2 babies.  Oscar tried to make friends with Bessie.  It scared Edwarda.  She thought he might hurt the cow.





  









 He probably couldn't have even if he tried.  I was amazed at his bravery, that cow is huge!


Our new house has better windows luckily, or the roosters would wake me up at 4 am everyday.  We are surrounded!

Everyone really likes living life on a farm without the work involved.  The occasional stray chicken is fun to watch up close.  And all these cows are really starting to grow on me.  

I'm feeling a song coming on.  "Green Acres is the place to be, (bom, bom, bom) farm living is the life for me, ........" .

Or NOT!  I think I'll just enjoy the posh life for now.
Chow.
