Inside/Outside

Indoor/Outdoor living is our style.  We love having the doors open and the breeze blowing through our house. We seamlessly move throughout the house and outdoor space.  The weather in Bonaire is perfect for our life style.

However there are a few draw backs.  The precious trade winds that keep us cool, also blows leaves and dirt into the house. This requires continuous cleaning. There is also a continuous flow of insects and critters in the house.

We recently had a huge (eight inch span) crab come into the house. We have an 8 foot wall around the house so we are wondering from where did this crab come?  Surely if he was living inside the compound we would have noticed him before now.  He/She was big enough to eat! Now I worry what else is out there that may enter the house.

Rick, the crab wrangler, easily moved the crab to outside the compound.

There has been a recent bloom of frogs at the house. We have found the smallest of baby frogs all over...inside and outside the house. This one is less than an eighth of an inch...tiny!

We also had a recent influx of geckos. Tiny tiny baby geckos that run on the walls and hide as soon as you see them (that's why I have no picture of them). 

It sounds like the house is full of unwanted creatures.  Yes, that is true, but they only stay a short while and then they leave to live their life on the outside. Inside/outside living means you share it with everything.
