After a day’s delay due to ice on the runway in Ithaca, we made it to Jamaica for the winter on December 10. The house was in great shape, and we settled right in. For the first time there are no crushing priorities when we wake up in the morning, so we’ve just be puttering along, doing whatever feels right at the moment. All of our plants have grown like crazy, as you can see in the pictures.
