No news is ...

Quiet week in Yelapa, for me, except for Saturday Night !!  I made it out to the Disco for the
first time in a while and had a good time dancing, until it got too crowded, and the music was turned up to 10 !  I couldn't dance very well with my fingers in my ears ! but i had a lot of fun, while it lasted ....


Fishing has been good this week. No tuna yet, and it isn't as bountiful as i remember in years past, but everything is always changing, and I look forward to a fish & vegie diet this summer.  Right now the pinapples and mangos are juicy and sweet !  

The leaves are still falling from the tress, but there must be some tasty nuts or seeds as there seems to be more birds of different varieties making a lot of noise.  Many parrots and
little starling type birds who have started coming in to the house, walking/hopping about on the floor, which is very dangerous to their health, with lily around.  Maybe whatever they're eating is somewhat intoxicating, causing them to lose their bearings ....
Lily had a hummingbird in her mouth the other day, poor little thing crying out, but i grabbed the broom quick, and she dropped it and it flew away ...

Ants are a big problem right now too.  They never go away, but they have a certain schedule that they follow, and now they are on the move !  I have saved the hair from my last cut,
( I still do it myself ) and stuff some in at the base of my favorite plants and trees.  
It's supposed to work for deer, so i thought I'd give it a shot, and so far, so good.  
It beats combing the side of the hill, in the dark, with my flashlight and the nasty poison, trying to find the nest .  Ground cinnamon works to suppress them too, I've seen it in action at a local cafe.  I better stock up !

The old Bouganvilla up behind the house is in full bloom and amazing.  It is almost coming thru the top window of the Casita.  The one we planted a few years ago in the front is growing fast and is developing flowers too.  It is Deep Magenta and the one up top is Deep
Red.  Gorgeous.  I have seen 2 of them growing together, with a white one mixed in, huge,
growing up the side of a wall , or into the other trees growing beside it.
One of my favorites, but with killer thorns. Maybe that's why they grow so wild, because they hurt, a lot, to prune. You never want to step on a branch, with barefeet especially.
That could mean a trip to the Clinic.  

I will get my photos up asap.

The New Moon brought a heavy sea, again.  More than usual because it has been more windy than usual, partly. People getting wet on the boat.  A new Laptop, in a backpack in the front, ruined.  People were scared.  That's not good at all, and I'm sure the Captains will address the problem.  They will have to. 

Mimi's is closed for the season, at least Friday Nights. The Library is coming together.
I already have a few sections organized, Children, Autobiographys, Cowboy Western
DVDs & Magazines. There is a LOT left to do, but I hope, over this summer we will
work hard together to create a Sacred Space, that will also make us some money !!

On my way to Puerto Vallarta tomorrow, to pick up the keys to the very nice apartment we are renting for the summer.  Six months !  I have some experience now, of how to live back and forth, and am looking forward to a bit of a respitie, from time to time.
It's nice to have a place to stay overnight.  You can get more accopmplished in 2 days.

I haven't left Yelapa since Feb. 11th, to the eye doctor, and the time before that was Dec. 20,
when Craig came back from Reno.  It will be a whole new world, all over again.
I'm going to make the most of it.

.....from my hut to yours...

sleep tight ... keep smiling ... keep guessing ... keep dancing ...
