Lest You Worry - Musings from San Miguel de Allende, Mexico

My post yesterday was a bit curmudgeonly. Wow, that IS a word.  No line from the spelling guru that it is not!

So, I thought that you might wonder and be concerned about the surroundings that I am destined to stay in til this gas shortage has been resolved!

I sit among these flowers and gardens in either the chair at the little round table where I frequently eat my lunch in the warm sunshine...........  

Or I sit in these comfortable chairs with cushions and arm rests, again in the sunshine to read.  In addition, there are two comfortable chaises at the opposite end of this long covered porch.

While reading I watch the groups of white, yellow and monarch colored butterflies flitting among the various flowers.  I've noticed that butterflies do not fly in a straight line.  In fact they sometimes look like they have no idea where they are going!

The hummingbirds come, literally within two feet of me sometimes.  The sound that they make can be heard long before they arrive.  Usually there are six or seven zipping around as well.

Then there are the doves, who coo and carry on along with some brilliantly bright yellow birds that I have not been able to identify.  Exquisitely colorful.  One of the doves, anytime I play classical music in the living room with the door open, goes over, plops down and sits as if at a concert.  It has sat there for almost a half hour from time to time.  Do you suppose in a previous life, he or she was a musician or conductor or what?

The sound of the breeze through the bamboo leaves coupled with the wind chime hanging there, caps off the serene and soulful ambiance of this lovely place that I have to immerse myself on these days of staying home.  Not bad............not bad at all!
