Welcome to my blog. Another Day in "Paradiso" was created to capture and share news, moments, memories, photos, videos and more, that make our days. One of my favorite phrases is "another day in paradise", which we use often, sometimes sarcastically, referring to our daily living in otherwise not so perfect days. With this in mind, I have long adopted the phrase "otro dia en el paradiso" (another day in paradiso), remembering that in this imperfect world we must make our own "paradiso".

A chain saw in paradiso

 At 6:00 AM this morning Lucy and I payed our fourth visit to Home Depot. When we are here one trip is just not enough in order to get all the supplies needed for the projects. Starting with wasp spray, a new machete, a chain saw, among other things, plus all the plumbing supplies to install the water cistern. 



Yesterday when we went to la finca, it had rained, and the power was out so I was unable to cut any trees because the chain saw and the pole saw are both electric. So, this morning after much debate we decided to get a gasoline chain saw in order to keep an upper hand when the power is out. 

Four years ago, when my father in law passed, we were hit by a hurricane while still occupying the finca house. A 60 feet humongous Australian pine was downed by the storm winds and blocked the access road to the property, locking us in. Since we didn't have a chain saw of any kind, we had to call the municipal Civil Defense crew to come remove the tree. 



This new chain saw will be of great help, and although it will mean more work, it will also mean working smarter not harder.
