The Squirrel Chronicles

We returned from our Puerto Rican adventure on Tuesday. What a crazy, wild place Puerto Rico is! It is an amazing feat that I returned home unscathed.We stayed with Juan's aunt and uncle up in the mountains. This is the view from their front porch.
I was enjoying some fresh home made lemonade (with lemons literally picked from the tree in the yard),and reading a book in the morning light when Juan came out to take my picture. It was so peaceful and quiet.
All that was quickly interrupted by the guttural moans of a pig being slaughtered by a neighbor.
I always thought pigs squealed.

Seriously, people keep livestock in their backyard. Instead of going to the store and buying the meat, they just go outside and catch a pig, chicken or turkey when it's dinner time.
And THAT is just the beginning.
