Winter folk are making their way back in one's and two's and it's good to see those smiling familiar faces again! Since I can't always remember the difference between the seasons (hey, some things get blurry after awhile), it reminds me that fall is approaching and winter soon to follow. Which basically means the sun will be different at the cart and there are some great food feasts in our near future. Works for me!
Placid dawns, hot days and cool-ish nights have been the watchword since the big rains of what became the devastating Noel. Beside grass up to my knees and the ever present whine of mosquitos left behind (seriously small annoyances compared to losing one's life and/or home), we also have blooming flowers of every description in the yards, on the roadsides, in the trees.
One of my orchids decided on a change of color, going from lavender to pale green - at least the buds are green so far - and this time the iguanas, apparently satisfied with other plant offerings, are leaving them for my viewing pleasure. All that greenery is making them fiesty though. Last night I heard what sounded like one or more humans crashing through the mangrove lined path next to the water. I called out, but with no answer, I went to explore. It turned out to be two iguanas caught in the grips of iguana love. I felt like a mother unexpectedly walking in on her teenager and steady and the iguanas seemed to feel the same way, moving as fast as they awkwardly could to the screen of the mangroves. Sometimes my life is the Discovery Channel on steroids.
These flowers are on a fence of tangled greenery...somewhere here in Paradox.
