I lived in Guatemala for 15 years but I was born in Peru, both countries speak spanish but they speak a different spanish, the jargon, the accent, everything seems different and it made it quite difficult for me to understand when I was a kid, trying to study there. Now I home come back to Peru and boy oh boy I feel like a foreigner sometimes, cause I don't understand the jargon, sometimes my accent sounds very odd. Also, since I'm native bilingual my spanish has suffered quite a lot to the point that my english sounds better... it's quite sad when people treat you like a tourist all the time. So, I don't have your same experience with going back to the US, because every time I go back to Guatemala I feel more at ease and "at home" but never to that actual point. So, I don't feel at home neither in Peru or Guatemala. >M>

Hi Betsy! This was fun, as usual! On trellis's, have you ever thought about trying to make some out of wire? I'll bet you would come up with some really cool ones, and I'd love to see you do a video on it. Hint, hint. LOL! Years ago, I mean literally years ago, I took a wire coat hanger and bent it into a heart shape, then wrapped it with floral tape. It didn't come out too bad. I actually still have it and may dig it out to use one of these days, probably outside. I do like the round ones you used, much better then the others, which used to be just about all you could find years ago. Your new Hoyas are so cute! Good luck with them. The Hoyas you put on a trellis are beautiful! Thank you so much for sharing! Also, loved seeing Fred and the kitty in the hammock.

@betsybegonia

I understand not everyone likes that I own a taxidermy fox. I'm going to respond with a comment that I left on a previous video I made, Funny You Wood Ask Episode 1. In my opinion, this is a beautiful way to remember a stunning creature that deserves respect and honor. I admire this fox, I take good care of it, I thank it for finding its way to me where I can appreciate it on a daily basis rather than it sitting in an attic somewhere gathering dust (it was quite dusty when it reached me). Furthermore the preservation of species is important and there are professionals who make museum-quality, anatomically correct work so that other people can see and appreciate species that they never would have been able to see before. This is vital, especially in the education of species endangerment, extinction, and some taxidermy pieces have been used for DNA extraction of lost species. This fox likely died naturally or was a victim of a car, for example. The person who created this taxidermy fox wanted to preserve it and they put great time, effort, and talent into giving it a new life. I respect your opinion and I am not trying to change your mind, but this is my perspective.
