It's still April, but the weather is May. It was so hot today that doing anything seemed too much.
We started the concrete beam that will hold up the second floor of the reno building. I'm calling it Casa Maya for lack of something more creative. We want to get the thatch done before it starts raining and with this heat so early, it may start raining early so we have to get going.
Rusty got yellow squash out of the new garden down by the river this week. Nice to grow and eat our own veggies but not something that this climate down here supports all year around.
It's too hot even to write - I'll try sleep. Nite!

The latest...
23 April, 2011
Times flies when you are busy in the bush.
We now have 3 thatched casitas finished and they seem to be very popular with our guests. Once we got the third one done, we changed everything around and I really like the feel of each one. They all have their little eclectic vibe going on and each one has two sides open to the jungle with screening from 4 feet up.
Our new project is the existing derelict building that we've used for storage. We demo'ed it over the past three days and now reno will begin. We plan an office and guide/driver room on the first floor with three guest rooms with baths and verandas on the second floor. Great for birding.
We had howler monkeys on property all winter. Now that it's hot again, they've gone back to higher ground, but it looks like they will be here each winter. I also saw a kinkajou down by the river on our new trail. We love the animal sitings. Back in February, we had a drove of 27 coatimundis run through the driveway. So great to see.
All for today - maybe I'll get better about this.
