Monochrome Monday~Gifts
A coffee set that was a wedding gift from a cousin in Mexico so many years ago. It actually came from the cousin’s friends, and to this day I don’t understand the generosity. But then again, this is how the culture works in Mexico.
Sunday Traveler~ Memories
The main drag in Sayulita, Mexico. A small town about an hour north of Puerto Vallarta. This was quite a few years ago when it was a relatively unknown place, but from what I’ve heard, is now quite the tourist spot. So sad that these little gems have to change. Everything moves on.
Flower Friday
A Peruvian Lilly I am told. And if it’s not, that’s ok by me. I just know a pretty flower when I see one. I hope you enjoy it too.
Monochrome Monday in Mexico
A little history to this one. I met up with cousins for a reunion in Mexico a couple of years ago. We visited a home that one of the cousins grew up in. The house had been sold years ago when both aunt and uncle had passed away. The new owners of the house had kept part of it as the ballet school it had always been, and this is the part of the house that we walked through. My aunt and uncle were very artsy people, so I wonder if this tableau has been there all these years.
Friday Flowers
Welcome to the baking flowers of California. This is not summer. This is not autumn. Up here in Northern California we are to be expecting weather in the mid to high 90’s over the next week or so.
The cat says the flowers are on their own, and he has submitted a requisition for a portable air conditioner for his hidey hole.
Sunday Postcard from Mexico
In San Miguel de Allende several years ago.
It’s getting to be that time of year with Dia de Los Muertos fast approaching (November 1st). It’s one of my favorite times of the year from Mexican culture, my culture. This says autumn to me more than colorful leaves or trees in transition. We remember our ancestors and loved ones now gone. I’ll post more photos over the coming weeks.
