Morning Thoughts

I haven't been on my blog for awhile. I have been sick and also I had a friend visiting. But I have been missing it. Sending thoughts out into the world and people answering me with their own thoughts. The Internet is amazing. How did we ever get along without it? The instant communication! I remember before the Internet and visiting Mexico and no communication at all. Living in a little Mexican seaside village for a few months, not even having a telephone to call my family in the States. But that too can be charming. It forces a person to be more self reliant. 

We have had many rainy days. Often by one or two in the afternoon it gets sunny.  Everything is so green and beautiful. My garden is thriving. 

The town is quiet most of the time. We still have a lot of traffic on the carretera on weekends. The rainy season has many advantages over the high season. But I don't like so much rain. If I had a car, maybe I would feel differently about it. But it is hard to walk out there in the mud and puddles and not knowing when it will rain again. I don't want to buy a car. That would tempt me too much to stop walking and I need to walk to stay healthy. 

One of my friends recently found a beautiful home in the heart of Ajijic, fully furnished with nice furniture, lots of sunlight, quiet, three stories and the rent is only four hundred dollars a month. So it is possible to find inexpensive housing here. It just takes time and lots of looking. I am happy for her that she found a home that she loves here. This is the best time of the year to look for housing. By October things will start filing up again and cheap places to stay will be gone. 

I am glad to be feeling well again.  I don't have much to write about since I have spent so many days in my house. Just wanted to say hello......

 

 

For some reason Olive slept outside on the table last night, even in the rain. I guess she didn't want to leave the garden. I keep my back door open at night so Olive and Chico can come and go. Chico sometimes still chooses to pee in my bathroom instead of out in the rain. Bad Dog! Bad me for forgetting to close the bathroom door!
