Now that’s what I call rain !!!! Won’t take long to fill your pool up with that. Hope your man can dig under water 😂😂 The tyre garden is a great idea. Creative and puts those things to good use. Love the colourful caterpillar. Great woodwork pieces Rob. Have a good week. Hope you both feel better xx

[@robandlorrimarie2022]

we have had a really good week L...the internet is super slow this morning and it is taking its sweet time uploading this week's video...that is giving me a chance to sip on coffee and complete my responses to last week's video! lol...the guys are very careful to cover the 'hole' so they do not have to dig under water...the soil is so dense with clay...it collects on the bottom of my boots and all of the sudden i am a couple inches taller! sticky stuff...lol...thank you for coming along scrapity!

Lovely to see your tyre garden, and I love the pebble-encrusted wall. Thas a lorra rain! Wait with bated breath for next week's video - to hear you haven't been washed down the hill! At least the soil will be softer for digging out the pool. I'm glad to hear you're both feeling better. Mx with hugs

[@robandlorrimarie2022]

that is what i was thinking margaret....it will be much easier to dig a big hole during the rainy season! the internet is crazy slow this morning...and...the video is on its way!!!!

Great to see you both and I loved hearing the rain! It’s raining here right now too - albeit a bit less intensely. We adore rain - always - here in the woods! We say, “rain most days keep the forest fires away!” Hoping you all are feeling better. How interesting to hear the drug information! Perhaps “too much” info in the states and “too little” info in CR - you could benefit from a “Goldilocks (“just right”) information situation! Good luck! Sounds like the old woodpecker might be rather anti-tech! One thing we’ve learned about woodpeckers here … they are persistent and QUITE resistant to change! Hopefully your feathered “friend” finds another place to hang out! I so relate to the retirement transition and experiences! When I retired 4 years ago, I realized I’d worked 44 years, full time! I loved my career, and … retirement for me, is so divine! And my retirement doesn’t include retiring from my art either! Ever! ❤ Still so much to explore and enjoy! Sounds like a “different” kind of week for you all! Take good care, be well and stay dry! ❣️ Kathleen

Glad you both are feeling better. I am amazed at your resilience to all the obstacles and challenges you face. Gotta tell you, I am much, much weaker than you both are. But, I am significantly older! That is very loud rain! Doesn’t sound like any umbrella would have a chance! You are inspirational and thanks for sharing your experiences. Love the candle holders! See ya next week. ❤️

Hi kids! 👋 ❤❤ I love to hear rain but wow, could not make out a word at the end and i used my headphones this morning! I have to say I was most worried about your transition LorriMarie because I know how much your artwork grounded you. And i watched your pour your joys, and pain and always Love into your Art. Not so much Rob, because i didnt know you. So when your stuff arrived i realized, you were still painting rocks and mending the workers shirts with slow stitches. They were prob think this one es muy loco, she's making my work clothes pretty. 😅🤣😂❤ And then you started to garden which i knew you did but had only seen harvests before. But you threw yourself into it, and you were learning and little by little a new type of video arrived. I love seeing both of you, the yin and yang. I find the new videos to be much more personal. To have the back n forth in the comments with both of you. So thanks for that! ❤❤ And on that note i am so glad you are both feeling better. With the rain be careful of any fruits or veggies left out. They could have unusual molds even in the core seeds. Also when im looking up a pill that i drop, cuz i do that, i just type in the search engine pill and the number thats on it. Love you guys, stay healthy! 😊

[@robandlorrimarie2022]

i love, love, love your comments laura! they are always so 'full'...so thank you for that! thank you for the little walk down memory lane about the rock painting and slow stitching the guys work clothes...only 2 years ago and i had forgotten about that! oh the days in the casita laura...those noisy trucks...hey...it takes what it takes to get to where we are...right? thank you so much for coming along with us laura...you are a treat!

[@karma13612]

Wow! Rain indeed! I always say, at least it isn’t snow!!! So sorry to hear about your poor health phase. Feel better soon💗 LorriMarie, your continued evolution to new art adventures is so inspiring. Who knows what the future holds for your creative journey. And we are honored to be along for the ride! 🎨 Rob, the bamboo utensil holders are really cool! Adding the varnish took them to the next level. Well done! Hope you two have a great week and looking forward to the next video🙋🏼‍♀️🙋🏼‍♀️🥰. (LM, I also wrote a comment in your chat video🙂🙋🏼‍♀️)

[@Jeannette.akaJnett]

Foggy camera - moisture in the lens? It's okay, we love hearing from you even if it's not super clear. :-) Sorry to hear you've been ill, but glad to hear you are both feeling better. Hindsight and all that stuff. Yep we must listen to our bodies. Seriously, that's all the info on the meds. Wow, totally unbelievable. Have friends who live in Guinea and it's the same there. They just go buy what they need and they have their own book just like what the pharmacists use. I do appreciate my pharmacist knowing what I'm taking and sort out any issues ahead of time. Rob the bamboo holders are fabulous. Very cool candles holders too. Love the ones with the knots. Gorgeous. Huge, cool caterpillar. Plants are looking great. You all sure get your exercise - cleaning, trimming trees etc. Pray you have a better week than the one when you were sick. Blessings on you both.

Glad you both are on the mend. I did notice the condensation on the camera lens, wow that is amazing. I understand the blister packs now! I do think the US is the only country that gives you a book with each prescription! Love the candle holders and the utensil containers. That is some big bamboo. Do you have to watch out with the bamboo that it does not take over the garden? Stay well and continue healing, see you Saturday ❤

[@robandlorrimarie2022]

we have some chinese bamboo in the back...it seems to stay where you put it...the large bamboo like rob used for the utensil holders is far enough away from the house that it is not a problem if it spreads out a bit...this past week when the monkeys were coming through...one was shaking the bamboo at us...lol...it was fun to watch and he thought he was scaring us away! thank you for coming along with us dinie!

Glad you’re feeling better, that’s crazy about the prescription pill deal though,wow. As you said, here in the states you get a manuscript with everything ., hmmm?🤔. That was some crazy rain, is this what is considered normal for the rainy season there? Because as far as I’m seeing nothing weather related is what is typical or normal anymore anywhere. Going to be in the high 90’s here this coming week,in SW Michigan. That’s typically august temps. Just everywhere it’s crazy, right? And omg. That caterpillar!!!! I want one, I wish there was a way you could follow his stages to see what he matures into., have a fantastic week guys. Hugs

[@robinsutton4952]

Lots of rain. The woodpeckers in our canyon literally peck through the heavy plastic protective cases for telephone. The technician is replacing them at least once a year. They’ve also replaced our wooden poles for electric with steel. We just had a huge old oak tree come down. Probably 150 years old and estimated around 55,000 pounds. There was no root ball to hold it up. It smashed my landlords Airstream and did some damage to our neighbors roof. Last year our neighbors tree fell over, again, no root ball. We’re losing our old growth oaks. Enjoy the rain. Love to all.

[@robandlorrimarie2022]

oh robin...sad that the trees are getting so old...right? interesting about the root ball not being supportive enough after a certain amount of time...i think this area is replacing the power poles with concrete ones too....then i guess the woodpeckers are going to have to go back to real trees....lol...they are so fun to watch! (looks like i would have a tremendous headache if i were a woodpecker!)...anyway...the internet is slow this morning...and i looks like today's video is up and running! the sun is up and it is time for me to head out for my morning walk...pura vida robin!

Drug information was fascinating. The difference between the USA and Costa Rica is wide. One seems paranoid while one is more relaxed. Naming the substance would be a positive. The humidity is a component to be vitally aware from electronics to ModPodge to pills to mold to blister packs. And we learn no matter our age. The sounds of rain conveyed its intensity. Wow. No need to complain just adjust and find the silver linings such as lush and varied flora and fauna.

[@robandlorrimarie2022]
