Relocating to Puna

[pslamont]

We had monsoon like rains all during the night with thunder and lightening. It was a vibrant experience. I sleep under a corrugated metal roof and the sound was like nothing I have ever heard, but I loved it. Rains are on and off this morning and the wind is blowing noisily through the trees. So this is the real rain forest in winter. The smells are clean, the animals are noisy and excited in a good way with chickens chasing bugs and dogs romping in the mud puddles. I am curled up in my bed and plan on a nice lazy day. Makes me think of snow days in winter in Sitka. If you don't have someplace you Have to be, you hunker down with a cup of hot tea and a good book, maybe bake something to add to the warmth of the house and just relax.

Yesterday we went four wheeling in my Toyota truck across lava to get to a secluded beach to collect smooth stones. I am stiff and sore all over from the bouncing but it was a great experience. I feel like I stood in a place few people have ever actually been. It certainly wasn't on the tourist route!

It is my great joy to be back online and I hope to continue the saga. Things are just going really well. We are happily moving along on all projects now and can see that it will all take a lifetime to put together. the fun is in the journey not the destination. That's what life is all about, right?



Just another day in P A R A D I S E !!
