Little Dolores

   I started my month long adventure in Dolores with Mick and Diane as my second Workaway hosts. I was helping Mick and Diane with cleaning up their garden in preparation for summer. Come summer, it gets too hot in Spain to be outside much later then 10am in the sun. So most people tend to get the pruning and weeding done early because weeds don't grow in the dead of summer anyways!

   Mick and Diane have a wonderful garden. Full of cactus, and succulents. Grape vines and potatoes and just about anything that will grow in dry Spain. Before their property was developed it used to be all farm land. In specific, it used to be an orange grove. When they converted the property they decided to keep some of the orange trees scattered through the garden. I was in love with the oranges! I had fresh squeezed orange juice everyday with eggs that were also fresh from their back yard! They have 5 chickens and a rooster. I absolutely adored them and have decided I will no doubt have chickens one day! In addition to the birds, they also had three dogs, Millie, Dippy, and Chica, and two cats, Jasmine and Pheobe. They were all wonderful animals!

   I had a great time with Diane and Mick and I hope to see them again in the future!
