Haciendera Life

Not really. But at this time, when the fruit trees are in full bloom, the flowers are at their most vivid and the vegetables at their crunchiest, it does feel a little like being a haciendera.

That means...

1. Enjoying months of anticipation, from when the first bloom shows up to when the fruit ripens. 
2. Getting fresh vegetables anytime, and preparing true plot-to-plate food.
3. Harvesting fruits, with enough to spare and give out to neighbors and friends.
4. Staring at nothing, or maybe having breakfast or working from our terrace, with just the plants to keep me company. 

Life is good, and it isn't about money or property.
