July Vacancies

Full Story
Still plenty of vacancies this July . This was the coolest june in the 12 years I have been here. Still pretty hot and humid - in the 80's , but often a tad less than 70 in the early morning. Still no rain - but not usually expected after the first week of July.

First Rain of the Year

Full Story
Thursday, June 30 in the wee hours of the morning (about 3:30am) brought us our first significant rain of the year. Yes, our lake in front of the Quinta appeared - and there was even thunder!

Lemoncito's new roomate.

Full Story
Caught a greenish bird flying around the courtyard today out the corner of my eye - I panicked thinking it was Lemoncito (our greenish parakeet). Actually, it was another. A girlfriend for Lemoncito crying to get into the cage with him. She was an easy catch, and pretty hungry. Will her name be Sol, in honer of the solstice?
