Hello, my name is Ovi and am joined by my wife of over 35 years, Maria. Over the years I have created videos on computer technology and travel videos to Puerto Rico and Peru. We are now building a homestead from scratch in a colder climate. Our goal is to share our experience of moving from the city suburb to a country homestead. We will share ups and downs, the good and bad. We hope that you will join us for this journey. Enjoy and thanks for stopping by.

Hello friends. For those of you that follow my father's music (in Spanish), he just released a new album with twelve jibaro songs. I created a video for his channel and you can view that here.

Yesterday we went blueberry picking at a nearby farm in my hometown. My wife and Ms. Debbie came along. Debbie is my grandchildren’s great-aunt on their father’s side. Blueberry season will last another two weeks. If you are planning on picking your own blueberries, now is the time. Btw, my wife made excellent blueberry muffins with our harvest.

Work on the homestead keeps me young. Btw, tomorrow Tuesday I will post another video from our trip to France. This one is driving to the French Alps. See you then.

We are visiting family in Canada this week. My six year old niece can speak English, Spanish, and Macedonian. Later we visited Tim Hortons for some great coffee. One of these images show a warning label on a cigarette box. As you can see they take it to a whole new level. Lastly, we had some Macedonian Palačinke. Great dessert.

We are in Canada this week (Oakville). $1.34 Canadian for regular gas per “liter”. How much is that per USD in gallons? There are plenty of eggs here and my wife is impressed with their supermarkets.

Today is the "Festival de la China Dulce" (sweet orange festival) in Las Marias, Puerto Rico. Here is a live feed of the event. My father and sister will be singing today at 3:00 PM Eastern Time. My father's band will play for about 45 minutes or so. This is right now on Saturday, March 15. You can watch him, and other bands, live or look at this recording after the fact. Watch it here: www.facebook.com/edwinsotoalcaldelasmarias/videos/…

Good afternoon. There will be no video this week. Keeping busy with a lot of wood cutting, splitting, and stacking. The weather is turning around and it feels perfect today for this type of work. See you next week.

I’ve been on this property for over three years now and this has not happened before. It’s a beautiful day. Two trees came down on my driveway, it’s super windy, feels like 10 below zero, everything is frozen, and I will be working outside all day cutting these trees. Wohoo! Free firewood!
