Swimming Pool

Swimming Pool

I’ve made a rough plan to take on the practical jobs first, clearing paths, water channels, roads and such… however, having cleared the beautiful granite alberca on one of the middle terraces yesterday, I realised that it might just make an amazing summer swimming hole..

it’s about 2 x 3.5 x 1 meter deep, and after a bit more scrubbing should be nice and clean, the physical structure seems in good condition, perhaps there are some hidden faults I’ve not spotted.

I created a new channel in from the acequia above and left it filling last night, I’ll try to remember to take some photos today, if it’s not exploded from over-filling!

First Gardens
Thanks to the kind help of Ana this last week, there are now several small gardens in the Gaspar Caballero method mixing flowers and edible plants in small manageable spaces all watered from the cleaned acequia running from the stream.

Forest Fire
Yesterday sunday I went out to QL with Raco to try and clean the top acequia, which has dried up, due to the madness of spring I guess.
