storm clouds poem
colossal
upside down
black cupcakes
devouring the sky
orange frosting
melts down
the vortex
thunder digests it all
stars shout
i love you
madly
Survivng September
Happy end of summer, at least for us down here !
We are short on rain, so be prepared, hopefully we will catch up during October. Not sure how short we are, we'd have to ask the woman of the mountain, who measures every year, for the last 15 or so !!
Termites gone, spiders haven't arrived yet. This is the only time of year when mosquitoes are really bothersome Like the houseflies that show up in the early summer, the mosquitoes show up toward the end. They love it here as much as we do !!
Pretty quiet around here. Vallarta Adventures boat cruises are down to 10 or 20 people.
Most restaurants still closed. Ramona's Enchiladas a Thursday night staple.
I see a few white people around.
Most are regulars, but a newcomer or two around.
A few hearty here for end of summer vacation !!
Always facinating to watch the changing Lagoon.
The mouth of the river changes constantly. Huge sand dunes the other day, reminds me of San Carlos Bay, or a desert.
Kids surfing. They can walk out farther than I've ever seen,
like a sandbar out there ... great for the guy fishing on the shore !
Out there in the pouring rain, or the dark, or both !!
The town water fall is spectacular, as usual this time of year.
Time for another visit.
This is the time to hike to the waterfall up river. Besides being on the water taxi, it's the coolest place to be !!
I have been neglecting this blog to finish my poetry book, which I have done. I will get it to the printers next week, and have it available for purchase at my new restaurant, which will open
mid to late October, in downtown Yelapa !!
Yes, Chesley Chicken BBQ will be available for take out and
home delivery. Daylight hours only.
Let's hope we do it right !!
I have a grand business partner,who will do most of the work and cook the chicken, What could be better than that ?
It all came together pretty fast.
It was opportunity knocking at the door, and we said ...
Come on in !!
Please come by and wish us luck !!
I'm also hooked on Instagram. All my photos on my phone now,
and I'm just learning to post to my blog from it.
I'll try again today.
Keep cool everybody... see you soon ....

50 shades of green
Good Morning and Happy September ... and Labour Day long weekend !!!
We all know what this time of year means in the North !!! and here it means ...
Rain !!!!! No sun !!! Rain !!!! Overcast, cloudy, cool, rain !!!
It went down to 23 degrees last night !!
Todays predicted high 32 !!
Humidity I'm guessing in the low 60 %. Very pleasant and mild,
for this time of year ...
After our last big rains earlier in the month, it stopped, again.
Termites LOVE that !!
It rained and rained in Puerto Vallarta, and Tuito, and everywhere else .. almost,
but not here.
There has been a lot of flash lightening and thunder. but, after Saturday night you can tell we are only getting started ...
It began raining while I was in PV, on my 3 day sweep vacation, clear skies for my return,
but began again Saturday night... and guess what ... TERMITES ...
I had a top 5 worst bed drama, becase I hadn't tucked in and secured my mosquitoe net
before dark and they got into my bed !!! ugggg...
They are basically just a set of wings so how do you do battle with that ??
Vacumme cleaner ??
They can be very dangerous, especially for infants, if they crawl into your ears ... uggg ..
so you don't want want them in your bed !
Well, I survived, and the rain continues. So green it's hard to take it all in.
You can tell we will be socked in for a while. It's like those times when the power goes off and you know you are in for a long haul ...
only different .... bring it on ...
I've offered to take the 4 Police Officers, ( who arrived on Monday August 22, the same day
as our Govenor, and the first day of school ) on a tour of the point, so they are familiar with which house is who and where, but
they said they have a rotation of officers on duty,
( not sure how many .. 12 ? 16 ? the whole Tuito force taking turns ?? ),
so I said I'd draw a map, ( we are down to 3 cops as of a week ago !? ),
but really, I think the thing to do is give each rotation a tour.
I can do that. Sherriff Lois is ready to help me.
Lets see what happens, but its very important.
In an emergency you would call Louis and he will walkie talkie the police,
They are set up in the Sherriff ( Deligado's ) office.
They arrive at 7:30 pm and leave at 8 or 9 am ish the next day.
Micheal King ! My long time friend.
37 years confidant, go to help me move again please, sports teacher, house sitter, message center and etc.... is here, in Yelapa.
He promised to visit for 13 years, and now he is here and one very happy camper.
And so am I.
Life is one surprise after another !!!
I'm late I'm late , I have a very important date.
Mums the word right now but news flash to come in the following days
School for me starts Wednesday.
Enjoy your week .. Power Path theme of the month ...
Taking care of business ..... Mercury Retrograde ... All signals GO ....
