Work Work Work, Fun Fun Fun!!

Hello all!
Sorry it has been SO long since my last post.

We have finally got our garden planted. We planted yellow peppers, hot peppers, carrots, wax beans, squash, watermelon, lettuce and pineapples. The watermelon is about an inch tall already! The lettuce is pretty tall to. In the rainy season, you don't even have to water your garden! To keep the garden nice and tidy, we went and found a few big branches to put a border on all the rows. We couldn't find enough to finish it, so daddy gets his machete, (they are in place of chainsaws here!)and wacked the trunk of a dead tree! I thought that must be illegal, but apparently not.

On Monday, we are hopefully getting our seed import permit. They said it would be ready last Friday afternoon but when dad went in they said they didn't have it yet, but on Monday they would. That's how Belize works. Oh, and a quick prayer request: To get a work/farm permit, we need a lot of things from the Canadian police. So if you could do that, that would be great!!
