trip through the plantation

Poor thing was so tired she fell asleep after a few minutes of utter exitement!
Some water lilies on the natural lake the Dodo poors into.

Proof that the rainy season has finally started. We weren't able to cross the dam, because the road had flooded and there was a very strong current. It was raining cats and dogs that day, so we had to cut our little trip short.

I love my garden!!!!!!

We've been eating only home-grown salad for two weeks now, and are also becoming self-sufficient in herbs. We'd eat salad every day, since it is so delicious!

One of our little basil plants (this is two weeks ago, by now, the leaves are 5cm long!)

Last week, we suddenly heard a muffled scraping sound. We went out to see what it was and found that one of our big 'palmiers du voyageur' had fallen. It's still there... grr waiting until the cleaning team comes for it! Luckily it didn't fall on any of my new acquisitions! (Which are thriving by the way, only one plant died)

I suspect my gardener is secretly building his house in front of mine. When I asked him about it, he said it was to have a climbing plant to grow over it. If he had only build it sound enough to become a pergola...

fauna & flora

Little frog lost in our veranda

our little tomato patch

this little 'civette' was for sale last week. It was about the size of a small cat, but would become the size of a big dog and is kept as a pet... It did bite David in the shoe though, so I think we'll just get a regular dog.
