Dear Caminoheads,
This is Cris reporting from Buenos Aires, Argentina, and today I have some news from the ranch to blog about! Although we are in the internet era, I sometimes trust more in the pigeons, swallows and storks to transport messages back and forth, and while communication literally “flies”, it is not at light speed!
It seems that Monday was a day full of fun at the ranch. Cynthia showed up to walk with Phil as per Felipe Walking “Smart”-Schedule and they were joined by Jen, Jim, Catherine, Dana and Charlie. There was walking, I know the corn was inspected, I imagine as well that Phil may have made use of those many hands to weed some, and I am fully sure there was chat and laughter. Cynthia captured this terrific picture, that doesn’t allow me to lie here! (THANK YOU CYNTHIA!!!)
Once I got this picture and these bits, I couldn’t help but calling my reliable swallow and ask her to take a message back to the ranch with only one word: JEALOUS!!!!!! I am glad the swallow doesn’t read (or that is what I think), as maybe she would either refuse taking the message or might change it for a “I wish I was there too <3” (You know, swallows are kinder than humans!)
Wishing we all could be there loves,
Cris
You are so beloved and so missed, Cris. You are also so present in spirit riding the wing of every swallow that swoops and dives and cartwheels overhead. Thanks so much for keeping the blog, it is one of the colorful threads that weaves this community together. And yes, we had us a moment on Monday morning reveling amidst the corn in gratitude for the simple grace that is the true farmer.
How beautiful being surrounded by friends and the ray of lights are so beautiful!
Glad to see your walking schedule up!

What an honor to be walk with Phil & you all Monday morning. Blinded by the bright late morning sun, l felt certain Phil & loving friends would be overexposed. For a brief moment the sun slipped behind the trees breaking itself into distinct rays, gifting me the opportunity capture a miraculous moment. Thank you 🙏
Cynthia ~ thanks and keep in touch. Felipé.x
