Sunrise and Butterflies

Wednesday, March 19, 2008

We still have occasional power and water outages, but we don't really mind, because we get to refocus from computers to books and conversation. Modern problems, yes? I caught a gorgeous sunrise this morning, which changed and was gone within 90 seconds.


The past couple of days I've been finishing some of my 52 articles for CABTAL and SIL, and Gary's finishing projects too.

For dinner, we have similar things as at home. Had spaghetti yesterday. Sometimes have beef or chicken, potatoes or rice, eggs, carrot sticks, stir-fried veggies, pineapple, yogurt and granola. Thursday we'll have guests for baked beef/bean/cheese enchiladas. Not a lot different; I was surprised.

Tuesday we went to a large "Artisantes" area of carvings, painting, beads, leatherwork crafters. It's somewhat like a swap meet, in that, vendors try to get your attention and get really excited if you buy ONE item from someone else. Then they urge you to come look at their items, for "One minute. Not to buy. Just to look only." After not too long one gets "input overload" and moves on or leaves.


One of the most interesting and beautiful items to find is “butterfly wing” art. As in this photo, every piece of the art is made of different colored wings, glued on. Wow! [Double-click on the photo to get a closer view]
