A LITTLE OF THIS AND THAT

(The above photo was 'borrowed' from Deb Morrow.)

Last week we had one heck of a thunderstorm which brought us 2 inches of rain in six hours! 

 As you can see, we again

Have Coyote Lagoon behind us. Unfortun-

Ately, it takes this ‘puddle’ weeks to evaporate and the ground does not drain well. With the new ‘arroyo’ going thru his campsite, Raven Gary built a dam across it. However, the water and wind will always win!!!

Bob keeping the water out of the palapa! You may note my strings of shells hanging there.

Mexicans appear to be very resourceful people, probably because they have to be. As you can see in these photos, anything can be used to warn of a hazard. (These photos were ‘borrowed’ from my friend, Jerri, and her blog.)

This is my granddaughter, Josie. She's not in Baja, but I just thought I'd include her picture!!

Our garlic/lime baskets

More Baskets!

Here are a few more pictures from our craft class that didn’t get included with the last blog.

I made these earrings!!!

BASKETWEAVING 101

Every Thursday afternoon, several of us from Coyote Beach go to a neighboring cove/beach called Posada for a crafting experience using natural materials.

We have fashioned beads and medallions using polymer clay; several kinds of baskets using sea grass, reeds and gourds. This week we will learn wire wrapping of shells, agates, etc.

I was very surprised one morning a couple of weeks ago to see a rather large ship approaching the north end of Coyote Beach and proceed to park (I know, it’s called anchoring!). It wasn’t cruise- ship large but large for our cove. Word is that it is a National Geographic ship that was touring about. It was only here that one day.
