Visitors

A couple weeks ago I was sitting in my reading nook on the patio, and noticed tiny inch worms...everywhere! They were on the table, on the chairs, and even hanging like streamers from the sky.

At the same time I noticed, more than usual, leaves from the tree behind the patio. I was mortified to see what state the tree was in! These inch worms had eaten all they could, and that is why they were venturing into my patio, looking for more food. Yikes!

This tree should look like the one in front of the patio...

A quick Google, and I found out that the inch worms will become moths, and the tree is more than likely not dead. But what a mess, I couldnt walk outside with out running into worms on strings, and even opened my door to a friend who found one hanging off my ear like an earring. Had to hold off doing laundry, as they would be all over the clothes drying on the line. The Gusano (new word) are gone now, but the litter from the tree is outrageous.

Another visitor as of late is a friend of Perry’s. This little dog lives nearby and started coming almost everyday to play. He would stick his head thru the doggie door, and Perry would go out to the street and play.

Then next thing I know, I hear wrestling in the house, and they are puppy fighting in the living room!

I have named him Retaco, shorty in Spanish, and he is NOT shy. He has a home, his nails are trimmed, and he is of healthy weight, but like many ecuadoreans...you give him a finger and he takes your shoulder, hahaa.

Now his is coming into the patio, jumping on my reading nook, even found me this morning in bed with my coffee! What a goof ball, he certainly craves cuddles and affection, and Perry is happy to have a friend.

Doesnt everybody like having friends? Speaking of friends, I had a Hair day in Crucita last weekend and made some new friends, and I painted murals the last couple days, in San Clemente. Today is a day of rest, but I promised Perry a beach walk, so Stay tuned, the adventure continues!
