While I was reading AE posts on deslinde and titles, the sky turned dark and unloaded a torrent of rain...... I mean something dreadful.......
I ran around closing windows and doors ( and there are loads of them......).
Opened one of the guest rooms ( which I never do.....) and there was half a cm of water on the floor. Opened its bathroom door ( yeah bad idea.....), a ankle deep river came flowing out...... ran outside to the balcony of that room ( upstairs.... ), evacuation tube was clogged. Unclogged it and swept away the water. Went back down with a bucket and mop. Mopped up.
Lightning, thunder, loads of rain. I hear the chickens very near the walls, to near. Run out to the conuco. Banana tree fell and knocked down a portion of the fence that keeps the chickens in. Run back, lock up the big dogs, fetch a hammer and some nails.
Run back and put out some corn. All but 2 came baxk into their pen. Small dog rounded up the last 2 who had wondered off into the jungle. ( sorry cubbie for all the times I said u serve no purpose.....).
35 assorted banana trees knocked down.
1 new mango tree and 2 new avocado trees, knocked down by the bannana trees.....
Cut off the platano that were already "yeno", full if I understand correctly. 5 racimientos. One of them had 67 platano on it !!!!!
Wrapped the ones that werent ready in bannana leaves ( it actually does work )......
Picked up over 40 avocados that were knocked off diffrent trees......
Crossed the road to inlaws house to give them platanos and some avocados. Helped clear stones and bannana trees of the road.....
Tomorrow I will work in the conuco, salvage operation......
For now I am going to fry some chicken ( the least they can do for me.....:classic: ).
Just another day in the campo.
