Mi Jardin
Today, is my gardeners first day. After meeting with him and a translator, I found out what I needed to get him, mainly a spade, sprinkler, broom, and various plants. So I went shopping. I went to the Sodimac, which is basically like a Lowes and found what I needed. I was able to speak a tiny bit of spanish and easily made my purchases. This was a big step for me, because I usually find a friend to go with, but I decided to brave La Serena by myself. I then went to a local little flower shop to find my flowers, and dirt. The man working at the flower shop spoke a little english, and was eager to practice. I happily obliged, since his english was a thousand times better than my spanish. I was looking for tierra de hojas, bouganviella, hortensias, and primula. I was able to find what I needed, but unfortunately the hortensias which are hydrangeas weren’t in stock yet. I also bought a couple other little plants, not sure what kinds, but pretty. I also bought a bunch of seeds for an herb garden that he’s going to plant out in the back. It’s a gorgeous day out, so i’m going to sit outside and read my book- Blonde Like Me. The view from our house is much smaller then our previous view, but I do get to look at the ocean every day, and can still watch the sunset over it. Can’t complain. Wish me luck tonight, it’s african dance!
