Let the People of the Azores decide! NOT the Politicians!
I never "cared" for politicians, and now, after all that´s been "revealed" in Europe, I begin to realize more and more how they just have too much control on decisions that are too important for just them to decide and not us, the people. They have NOT been doing a good job at deciding for us. I think it´s time now for the people to decide on every single new policy and correct the flaws of the old policies.
We have to make our world evolve in a fair way to ALL its citizens.
We don´t need a "face" to represent us (and spend most of their time bickering with the other "face" of the opposition), we need ALL the people to create or change ALL the decisions each union, country or region has to make.
"Collective knowlegde is the new politics."

Two young mommy´s!
These amazing sisters are binding soo well with the little ones! Unfortunately Mimosa was a bit anemic and her 4 premature babies died despite all of our efforts during labour, they were just too little unfortunately. :( Mimosa is helping out her sister Pantera with hers now, as there are only 2 now after this wild cat stole the other 2 in their first week, stupid cat.. I learnt they do that, like lions as well, so they won´t have competition from the newborn later and also the females get in "heat" faster when they don´t have the baby cats to take care of. :( So I have them now in a bird cage outside the door, because Pantera is the wildest one that gets panicky inside the house, at night I close it so no more abductions occur.. :/ These last few nights I´ve been closing them in our Wc because of the rainy and windy weather that can reach inside the porch. They do pretty well there at night, open to eat and drink and warmer for the little, fluffy and adorable kitties! Arent´t they? A girl and a boy! They are just starting to open their eyes! :)

Pensamentos Presentes
Numa ilha, numa terra, onde o
passado ainda é, o tempo incerto transforma a vida a cada instante.
Sobrevivência do ser é
batalhada e remodelada.
Vive-se.
Tentando progredir, redigindo
novos caminhos a enfrentar.
É-se.
Imaginando fronteiras
longínquas em que tudo no tempo muda, outros universos constantes, o além.
A presença do intuito a
seguir em frente numa direcção familiar, confortante e preferencial.
Mas onde estamos? Aonde
vamos?
Deixa-se marcas na linha da
história contínua.
Uma história.
Várias histórias.
Capta-se os momentos mais
marcantes, esquece-se muitos outros, criam-se mais.
É uma história dita e por
vezes escrita.
Espera-se para ver e saber o
que vem.
O ritmo do percurso baseia-se
no estado do ser.
Fechadas na mente, trabalham
as ideias reais e desejadas.
Onde nos leva, a ritmos
diferenciados, estas acções?
Fica-se? Vai-se? Porquê?
São os pensamentos de um ser.
Experiências marcadas por
emoções variadas.
A continuação do percurso a
ser realizado.
É aqui que estamos, é aqui?
Ou…
Ficções realistas.
Algo único sempre prestes a
acontecer.

We have a new pair of geese already lurking about the coop!
We named them Gwen, after the mother goose from the movie "Charlottes Web", and Blue, because of his very blue eyes!!
Very beautiful creatures!
Hopefully they´ll have some goslings this Spring!

The Death´s Headhawk Moth!
The weeks passed and 1 of the Moth´s emerged!:
The wings are still not ready for flight..
The skeleton is clear on it´s back.
Resembles a bee, but much bigger and bigger horns and legs!
The Moth makes such a skeaky noise if it feels treatened and also skwirted out this liquid from it´s lower area twice in diferent times that I didn´s expect at all!
Such an interesting creature!

Hungry No More - Put an End to Famine
Drought my be an act of nature, but famine is not. The current crisis in the Horn of Africa is a man-made disaster that could have been avoided. But we don't have the necessary political will to stop the starving - and its causes. As a consequence, millions are affected and tens of thousands of children have died.
Communities in Africa can cope with droughts and natural disasters. But we need leaders to invest in early warning systems and safety net programmes to help people become resilient to these hazards. And we need donors to put resources toward better seeds, irrigation and sustainable farming education. By acting now, we can help 200 million people from poor farming families grow more food and raise their incomes.
When world leaders meet at the Group of 20 (G20) Summit in November, they have the opportunity to break the cycle of famine. Ask your leaders to keep the promises they made to the 2 billion poor people who depend on farming for their livelihoods.

Deaths Head Hawk Moth Caterpillar
These beautiful beasts are eating away the apple tree leaves in Sanguinho (work).
I have them now in captivity in pupa stage to observe them as moths as they come out and let them free. :)

Um percurso memorável Sábado passado, com direito a avistar um casal de priolos na Serra da Tronqueira e um ao lado da estrada vindo do Nordeste para Água Retorta! Um dia de sol, um dia de pedalar e bem junto do meu hubby!
