My back yard Eden

don Cesar is out in the yard raking, pruneing and fertilizing. As I sit at my computer I can see him working accompanied by a neice and nephew. He is called Tio (uncle) by many of the neighborhood children. He is a man of great patience.

As I see the effects of his presense on our beautiful 3/4 acre yard, I feel so blessed that he was part of my dream. I did not intentually create HIM so to speak, but after 5 years of managing an acre of jungle with only the help of Ordin and my friend Flo, I knew that the nightmare of maintence we had created had to have a positive effect; it was in knowing that I NEVER wanted to do that again.
