From Jungle to Reclaimed Parcel of Land

 After coming home from work in Mexico, now some serious reclaiming is being done!
Slowly husband Pieter is turning it from Jungle to Reclaimed Parcel of Land...
Pioneering work at its best!
But we are getting to see the fruits of hard labor.
We had just been two weeks in Mexico from November 27 till December 12.
If viewed on YouTube there is English translation below.

      Dearest Victor,
      Yes, for the first person ever to toil this land, it was hard!
      Hugs,
      Mariette

    Hello Mariette, It took a lot of vision to know just what and how much to clear, especially since this was for an extended garden, not a land-lot for a house and lawn. To be honest, the fires would have scared me a little--I would not want that much responsibility!

      Dearest Jim,
      Pieter knew exactly what needed to be taken out and what not. Dead trees, crooked ones and so on. The fires went very well in December and with little to no wind. That was the perfect timing as well, and hoses and water available just in case...
      Hugs,
      Mariette

      Querida Antónia,
      De hecho, ¡grandes recompensas al final! Y fue mimado por su esposa...
      Abrazos,
      Mariette

    Hallo Mariette, een hele klus die geklaard moest worden om er een prachtige tuin van te maken. Dan is het wel fijn dat Pieter daar zo handig in is. Leuk dat het op film staat. Ik had het geluid op 100% staan, maar het was nog zachtjes. Toch hoorde ik volgens mij een dialect. Fijne dag, lieve groet Willy

      Beste Willy,
      Ja, dit is leuk, nam altijd de camera mee als ik b.v. thee bracht naar de gazebo voor een nódige pauze. Spreek 'Horster' ja, als mijn achtste taal...
      Liefs,
      Mariette

    It certainly looks like hard work.

    Glad that you are getting to see the fruit of his labour.

    Happy Tuesday!
