day 1

good meal. we worked all together the field. All my complains from the other farm are satisfied. I am quite happy.

We walked in the mountains, I felt like in Belgium.

day 2

all day it rained. it was good for internet, stories and eating.

Betty had 3 kids, and she adopted more than 40 children. She had even 11 at once. Even she has such a long history, she had to fight a lot the bureaucracy. Officials who never adopted a child, put sometimes stupid conditions: the adopted kid must be all the time at maximum 3 meters away from her. Their tough conditions made people not to adopt anymore, so now it’s much easier, but now Betty feels too old for that.

She has a strong interest on the history of the colons, on how they managed to survive. Even in the 40’s there were people on the edge of starvation. Maybe this is the reason of her kindness.

day 3

the young goats escaped their enclosure. I looked up for holes, and I repaired the fence. Then I helped Emilie and Betty to remove the weeds by hand. It’s a tedious task, and painful for the back. In one hour, I cleaned less than 2 square meters. It is so difficult to grow organic vegetables. I think the robots are the solution.
