Was It A Dream?

I took my walk and I saw a very large gopher turtle but let me just tell you- those things are pretty fast on those short little legs. By the time I got within photo range he'd slipped down into one of his holes and disappeared.
Oh well. I saw him. I did.
Turtles and iguanas always look so pissed off.
So, speaking of turtles and iguanas, guess where I was a year ago today?
Go here if you want to know.
Here's a clue.


No wonder I'm feeling a bit...disgruntled. 

I'm going to start crying now. 
NO. No, I'm not. 

It is beautiful where I am now. I just walked almost four miles. My garden is looking better than it's ever looked. My children are all good. I'm getting a new grandbaby in about four months. I'll be going to this boy's last T-Ball game tonight.


I have hot and cold running water. 
And. Well. You know. Everything. And chickens. 

But still, I miss this.



And oh, how I miss this.


I'm not going to lie to you. 

All right. I'm going to go transplant a gardenia which is being smothered in monkey grass. Hopefully I can disentangle it from those net-like roots. 

Love...The Once And Former Senora Luna

    You should book a last minute holiday! Just go there anyway. Ha!

    I can certainly see why you are homesick for your beautiful Cozumel. I suggest you start planning your next trip the minute you get back from one of these trips. Heck, buy property there! Why not?????

    Mwa- I have considered it.

    Joanne- Well, property in Cozumel is as expensive as it is here and besides- if we were homeowners, we'd have to deal with repairs and stuff. But there ARE very affordable places to rent by the month there. Maybe someday?

    Oh, I like the renting-by-the-month idea. You SHOULD start thinking about your next trip. It will lessen the longing and give you something new to look forward to!

    Methinks it might be time to go back to Cozumel and recharge. I remember that photo of you in the white dress. You look like a fairy child yourself. Gorgeous and happy and light.

    You'll go again. It's waiting for you.

    That photo of Owen is the coolest. He looks like he should be on a baseball card.

    Dear Señora Luna,

    Is that Cozumel I hear calling you? I think it is. Maybe go before the new baby arrives?
