Unexpected things. One day you're fine ... the other day you don't know. The lady who helps me in my house got sick. I sent her home so that she could rest and get better. Two days later I woke up with a sore throat, sneezing and with a runny nose. I called the lady's house and she explained that she had a general weakness, red eyes and a severe headache. Oh no! It's covid-19! ...or at least it seems like it. If so... then I am also infected. I sent my treatment to the…

My cacti I have the pleasure of being a nature lover since my beginnings. My garden, apart from having medicinal plants, ornamental, sun and shade plants, indoor and outdoor plants, fruit plants and aromatic plants... I take care of them all, I sow them, I harvest them and I transplant them. But my darlings are the cacti and succulents. These days I am pleased to see that many people like cacti. They want to and have collected cacti and succulents. They want to have some…

Erratic Thoughts. A long time ago I used to think that a pefectly capable person should not ask for money on the streets. Today my thoughts have changed. I see so many people on the street asking for one thing and the other. I believe that your physical state is not what limits your situation, it's the mind. The mind or rather the way of thinking of the individual, is what makes him think in relation to fatalism and not towards positive thinking. Any opinion from strangers…

Flowers The rains brought flowers on my plants with them, the water droplets slide docilely down the underside of their leaves and the bouquets of flowers multiply one by one, surrounding the tops of my plants as if in an embrace. I know you know this plant that is called *Euphorbia Milii.* It's my favorite when it shows its flower, they are red and come close to each other and give the feeling of offering a beautiful bouquet. There's also a plant with beautiful little white…

The butterflies cry? It was a rainy day... I went out to walk around my plants. I wanted to enjoy some photos with wet flowers and plants. I like to take pictures when the plants are wet. It was when I observed this butterfly, I stopped and started taking pictures with my phone... first from afar, because I could make the butterfly fly and thus would be unable to take these photos. I kept taking photos from various angles. I love seeing the macro eyes of insects. If they…

About Spiders. I know that spiders are insects that almost nobody likes, but I am very struck by their eyes whenever I take a picture of one of them. Their eight pairs of eyes seem to see in different directions. These seem to see me. It was not my intention to take this photo. I was at the beginning of this year, looking for some large ants that would not allow me to get close to them so I put a banana peel on the ground, because I was in my garden, I sat near it and waited…

Fig jam! I really like fig jam. I have a fig plant that I planted a few years ago, now it grows figs! ...Not as much as I would like but at least I can get some.

He did not come !! Today for me is Sunday, July 26, 2020. All week it was announced that a hurricane named Gonzalo would visit us. Actually, I did not panic because on previous occasions, when terrible threats from nature were announced, they never came. The situation arose like this. The hurricane was approaching the coasts of the Caribbean and then entering our coasts it would destroy part of what it would find in its path. ..I have the precious luck of living very close…

Memories!! When my son, who is now 20 years old, was born, my older brother, who is already resting in peace, gave me a small radio with a CD holder. It was very useful to me since my son with instrumental music, classical music on CDs that I played him so many times, he relaxed. I bought several CDs from artists famous for their works such as Beethoven, Mozart, Chopin, others like Rychard Clayderman, and others that I listened to so many times. I had many LP records, which…
