April Showers .... i wish



Welcome to April in Yelapa .... and the stomach flu !!


I thought I was going to escape the little bug being passed around.
 I shouldn't have been bragging that I wasn't sick .  It hit me hard Friday afternoon, and I was in bed for the rest of the day.  Saturday I thought I was recovered, but by early evening
I was back in bed, where I stayed all day Sunday. Today, Monday, I am a little better, but
exhausted ... how can that be ?? 


I had to cancel going up to the Library today, which is upsetting,but the PTA President will
cover for me as A. won't be back from the USA until late this week.  What bad timing as I really enjoy going up there, and this is the first day back from Easter Holiday.
I didn't want to call her, thinking I may be better this morning, but it's a good thing I did.
I couldn't walk up there in this state, let alone work with the kids for 2 hours, and walk back ! 

The weather has changed dramatically.  Full sun every day, and everyone is commenting that it's hotter this time of year then we can remember.  We still have the welcoming ocean
breeze, and there are grey skies in the afternoon, but it's unlikely we will have any rain, for
sometime to come. It's  a water dance again.  Keeping the greenery alive, and yet still trying
to conserve water.  We have been very lucky here over the years, but running out of water
is a real threat.  There are always ways around getting water in the line, which means 
running more of the black piping that feeds our tank.  Lets hope we get don't have to do that.

In the meantime, the tourists and part-timers are heading out.  By next week, most of the
regulars will be gone. There are 5 houses on our water line, and now that the renters are gone, it's less strain on our water system. 

I will be taking it easy today.  Although there is no water in the tank at Casa Delfin, I have
someone looking at it today.  Without water, there are no renters, and I'm hoping there may
be a few stragglers coming by, that will want to rent .  Usually when there is no water it's the
same reason why, so it could be a somewhat easy fix. I hope so.

For now,I will try to eat some breakfast, it's been a couple of days.

I hope none of you are sick .... and you are enjoying a marvelous spring ...

until next week ...

much love and affection from afar ...
