<strong>10:30 am on 4 March / Dialogue with my neighbour.</strong>

<em>Anitaaaaa, Anitaaaa.</em>

I am going... 😅... wait a minute, please. <sub>I go out into the backyard amidst yawning and stretching</sub> Good morning, what excellent news do we have today? 

<em>Bring a plate to give you some sweet potatoes. </em>

Oh, yes, my stomach is growling already. Sweet potatoes made with wood? 

<em>Yes, Anita, I know you like them. Look, a coconut fell.</em> <sub>And she points to the middle of my yard</sub> <em>We don't have any sugar, but we can stockpile the coconuts so that when we get some, we can make the sweets.</em>

Great... Come on, give me the coconut water, if you're not going to drink it. 

<em>It's OK Anita... The sugar is expensive. It's not easy, mija.</em> 

I know. We'll see what we can do... we'll accumulate coconuts and our friend on the other side will bring the sugar... hahaha... I just got up. Look how late it is! <sub>I walk to the coconut tree and pick up the coconut and hand it to her. It was the one that fell the day the woodpecker visited me. I left it there at the foot of the tree</sub> Wait, I'll get the plate. That's probably my breakfast because I don't have any bread. 

<em>No, the bread didn't come yesterday. There's no bread, there's nothing...</em> <sub>and laughs.</sub>

We can make chicharritas or mashed banana, because that's what we have our plantation for. And you cooked sweet potatoes. Yummy.

<em>Right.</em>

<sub>I run over and bring the dish and hand it to her over the wall. She walks to her wood cooker and soon comes with the plate overflowing with sweet potatoes, which she gives me with a smile</sub>

Thank you. I'm going to eat all this right now. <sub>The taste of wood-fired food is special to me, it reminds me of my childhood.</sub>

<em>Enjoy.</em> 
 
I quickly look around the magical garden. I see some yellow butterflies fluttering there among the... Hey, the flowers of George Thaddeus (Anthurium) say good morning to me too. How wonderful! I didn't realise that plant had bloomed. 😃

What happens then is this: I walk back into the house humming a song I made up about some flowers, a sadness and a love... and a plate of sweet potatoes. 🙄😂 Hilarious.

I put the leftover sauce from the previous day's meal on top of the sweet potatoes and serve a mug of yoghurt as well... it's a very copious breakfast.

All that's left is to enjoy this delicious food on the patio while I watch and listen to my feathered friends, regular visitors to Villa Nani.

<sub>Of course we agreed on this photo session afterwards.</sub> So far the photos of the red-legged thrushes. 😁

While I'm eating I think about my days, about how much I would like to go hiking in the mountains with a group, that plans those trips to paradisiacal places in our geography that I haven't visited yet; however, I'm held back by the idea that I must first solve other important health issues that are very expensive right now, and besides, the simple fact of buying food for the day is already a challenge. I look around me and remember the conversation my friend Amanda Flores and I had very recently... just one sentence from her that made me laugh out loud. 🤣

<em>Sure, going to the forest and mountains doesn't cost money if you wake up and there are right in front of you.</em>

I thought about the fact that I don't have proper hiking boots, nor do I have a tent... I do have one of those big backpacks that I named Rosita, but that's all... Moving to those places also costs money, and buying the necessary supplies, and I'm sure I'll have to pay for other things there...

My mind wanders... the birds live a very simple life. Look at them... I'm not complaining... really, but everything in life needs some planning. The bush will have to wait. Here I have my own bush or forest or whatever in the meantime.
