Marianna Castiaux In Paraguay

SO after re reading my last post I should say that my negative mindset was pushed back the other day when Agustina, my neighboor, showed me how her Lupino ( a nitrogen fixing plant) now has pretty white flowers and she is very excited about collecting the seeds and planting more for next year. She (and I) didnt know it had such pretty flowers and wants to plant it in front of her house as a decorative plant as well. Success, sorta :) Also I planted two rows of Lupino at my host families house, last month, and both lines came up remarkably straight! and sprouted beautifully. We have come to the idea of harvesting most of the plants seeds and giving it out to the community. So, in terms of helping their farm land be productive for the years to come, yayayayaay success.

Its winter time here in paraguay and its impossible to find anything to write about. This is why my last post dates May and now being July I felt i should at least tell you that not much goes on in the campo, site, in the winter. Really not anything... I luckily had a friend Courntey meet me in Buenas Aires to kill the boredom of examing the inside contents of my head. This was a highlight, of course, as Buenas Aires is now one of my favorite cities in the world and without another thought (besides a quick trip back to the USA) if i found a job there i would move in an instant. But since that has nothing to do with Peace Corps, I do not feel I should take blog space writing about the beautiful walkable city of BA and write instead about the inner contents of my headspace in the campo in the winter time.... "its cold, its really really cold. i dont want to get out of bed. should i get out of bed? im kinda hungry. its cold, its really really cold............." repeat for about...
