Yet another special day
The day began with Caeli wondering if we would ever feed her.
We got back from our beach walk to find Ubaldo up in a tree pruning cocos and a few dead branches.
Hummingbird overload.
Fernanda has attracted bees instead of hummingbirds…..she is so very sweet. We only get regular hummingbirds, thank goodness.
Our friends Michael and Rochelle arrived before 10AM…..guess they got a very early start 😉 Great to see them here on the Isla. As they got settled in, our day progressed. Just a quick note….their set up is almost immediate unlike ours. But then they are only here for a month.
We had brought 3 bags of soil with us from Arizona and had purchased another 3 large bags of soil at the nursery then mixed them all together. Hopefully the mix will be what my garden requires.
Turns out that my front left flower bed is almost full of palm tree roots. Maybe that is why most of my plants in that bed die. Perhaps it is not just the salt air and ocean breeze.
Finally getting my purchases planted.
Longtime blog readers Debbie & Russ arrived about an hour before sunset. This was taken this morning but regardless these two took no time in settling done to some serious relaxation. Welcome to the Isla.
As they settled in, Rochelle and Michael joined us for happy hour.
Meanwhile Caeli is now wondering if she is going to get her dinner in time to satisfy her stomach.
Just another Isla sunset….
…well not quite.
Rather special in my opinion.
A fisherman and his net…
…then the horses heading home for the night.
Oops, here comes the lone filly.
I think that for my newly arrived friends, all four of you, this is a very spectacular sunset.
Colin and I are saying WOW! I actually showed this shot to Micheal immediately after I took it to ask him if what he saw in real life was the same as what he observed on my camera screen and he affirmed that it was.
What I don’t for through for my friends 😆 Welcome to the Isla, Debbie and Russ, Rochelle and Micheal. I am so very happy to hear that you are all happy to be here.

Always nice to meet more fellow rv’ers and have them join you on the Isla.
I am always honored and amazed by the number of people who find their way to the Isla and Mazatlan because of this blog.
The location has lived up to everything Contessa told us. Very lucky to get to spend the month of Dec here. The greatest of the location is feeling like you are in a remote fishing/beach village but close to a large city. Friends already here AND we have a front row site, WOW WOW!

So very happy to hear that you are content here and you have only been here a few days. Wait until the area weaves it’s spell around you.
Nice to see you resettled and landscaped, the isla lookes beautiful. Meanwhile we are having a great time in San Miguel de Allende…

With your large following, I hope to share some stories with your readers. If I may be so brazen…
How wonderful to have you and Shelagh here in Mexico this winter. I so hope that it is everything that you imagined it to be plus more.
Do you have a lot of horse poop on the beach?
Sadly yes. We pickup our dog poop and no one picks up after the horses. The only good news is that that tide washes it away twice per day.
I have some pictures of one of my hummingbird feeders from the summer of 2014, and it looks exactly like Fernanda’s. The honeybees were crazy that year, and it made my kind of sad when I didn’t see hardly any this past summer. 🙁
Your pictures of Caeli waiting for her meals are so cute, and your sunsets are spectacular, especially the last one. 🙂
I agree, it is sad to see the decline of the bees over the past few years which is why Ferne left the bees have at the sugar water.
Caeli can be quite comical at times both vocally and in body language.
The sunsets here not for me but for herself, Mother Nature and we are fortunate to be observers.
