This is my second quilt. This second time was much more pleasant. I want to convey the importance of taking care of nature and our environment in which we live. We have to care for the animals so they do not become extinct. We have to care for the trees, which give us the air we breathe. The water is what we need the most for everything. We need our gardens to be clean and organic. We need to try to not pollute so much for our own good.

It is really wonderful to live here in the forest, surrounded by deer, squirrels, wild turkeys and even bears. It is a unique and fantastic experience.
Ésta es mi segunda colcha. Esta segunda experiencia es mucho más placentera. Ya que en ésta quiero dar a entender lo importante de cuidar nuestra naturaleza y nuestro ambiente en el que vivimos. Necesitamos cuidar a los animales para que no se extingan. Tenemos que cuidar a los árboles, que nos dan el aire que respiramos. El agua que es lo que más necesitamos para todo. Necesitamos que nuestros jardines estén limpios y orgánicos. Necesitamos tratar de no contaminar tanto por nuestro propio bienestar.

Es muy bonito vivir aquí en el bosque, rodeado de venados, ardillas, guajolotes salvajes y hasta osos. Es una experiencia fantástica y única.
