I have a friend who housesits for me, but I really can't impose upon him for the entire winter. I will probably continue spending 4 or 5 weeks in Mexico, and miss out on at least part of the season. I already have a couple friends who might be interested in having me show them around Mérida next January.<br />I don't envy you with replacing the lawn. Once it gets warmer, I have to dig up and replace several overgrown shrubberies.<br />Saludos,<br />Bill Retired Teacherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03697897155105288077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8005183909843018870.post-38677114695860818022015-04-25T10:14:36.107-04:002015-04-25T10:14:36.107-04:00It has turned somewhat colder here after some unse...It has turned somewhat colder here after some unseasonably warm temperatures last week. I'd guess the same happened in Cleveland. <br /><br />Seriously, you should get a place in DF for the winters and just turn yourself into a snowbird.

I was really looking forward to sunshine. As it turned out, the rain took a hiatus... just a few sprinkles and one brief thunderstorm during the 2 weeks that I was there. There was lots of sunshine and warm temperatures. The locals thought that it was very hot when the temperatures hit the mid-80s, but I was loving it!

I'll enjoy seeing the flowers in Texas that we don't get in Mexico. I must say my garden has exploded in color from all the rain this year.........Babshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16609157345912932083noreply@blogger.com
