On Tuesdays, the gardener and maid come. Alberto has an old fashioned push-type, manual lawn mower. He has attached a canvas to the back to catch the clippings. He crawls on the ground and does all the trimming by hand and waters everything by hand. (Of course, I water by hand daily too.) Neither he nor Anna speak English, so it is challenging talking to them. I keep my computer up on an English to Spanish conversion program and run back and forth, if I have questions or need to tell them something.
There is always a breeze here and I often keep the doors open. I can't believe how dirty it can get in one week and how many leaves fall. They even blow into the house. I'm sweeping during the week.
