Yay kefir water! Thank goodness for an easy start method that travels well. Haven’t found kefir grains here yet. This product doesn’t make them, so it’s not sustainable. But good for some batches. Need me some grains though. #shoutout to @cultures4health #fermentedfoods #kefir #kefirwater #probiotics #livingfoods #expatlife #expatliving #slowlife #nicalife #nicaragua #permaculture #healthfood #wildfood
My Propolis extract Tincture is 1:9 Propolis to vodka (organic grape alcohol is best). I’m making do with a sugar cane vodka from Nicaragua. Propolis is a gift of the bees ????. Studies show its antiviral, antifungal, antibiotic, antitumor. I take 1 dropper daily. Available at 50% off on our website in the profile for a limited time. #propolis #bees #beekeeping #beegifts #apitherapy #slowlife #permaculture #nicalife #nicaragua #healing #medicinals #tinctures #beelove
The critters we find outside the door! ????????#millipede #bugs #permaculture #slowlife #nicalife #nicaragua
Installed the first set of these mega pest control door sweeps from @xcluder today. Very easy. I made four cuts using two 36″ sweeps, as we have these folding doors. I made them a bit wider in places because the doors have some gap issues. I think it’s going to work well, along with the weatherstripping to keep out the spiders and crickets. #slowlife #nicalife #nicaragua #permaculture #bugs #rodents #tarantulas #pestcontrol #homeimprovement #mice #rats
“The heart that breaks open can contain the whole universe.” —Joanna Macy Studying with #joannamacy had a profound impact on my life. Eternally grateful for her wisdom and insight on Mutual Causality. Regram ???? from @elephantjournal
Weatherstripping isn’t a thing in Nicaragua. We searched high and low at the ferretarias. Grateful our daughter brought enough for the doors when she visited. Tomorrow I will install the mega door sweeps she brought from @xcluder to keep out “rodents” (tarantulas). ???????????????????????????????? The roof seams were sealed today too. So the outside ???????????????? will stay outside now. Good because cricket season has begun. And these critters are super loud. ????

Resources are scarce. I saved the plastic from the bed purchase, not knowing how it would be needed. Today it saved the laundry on the line. It’s been rainy unseasonably. #laundry #rainydays #permaculture #resources #reuse #recycle #plastic #slowlife #nicaragua
