Mexican Mirador's

I spoke of miradors in an earlier blog. I said then I would deal with the miradors later. Looks like that time has arrived.

Think of a patio on the roof of your house. Not a regular roof, a flat roof. Most of our neighbors here in San Antonio Tlayacapan have miradors. We can see other miradors from ours.

Different people seem to enjoy miradors at different times of the day. Kay likes to go up early in the morning to catch the sunrise and listen to the roosters with her coffee and a good book. I go later in the day or at sunset. This is the place to watch the weather change. They can provide a great deal of peace and solitude.

Ours is on the third level and the climb is worth the effort. On ours are a number of comfortable chairs, a table plus a Mexican swing. As far as flora is concerned Kay has arranged four large elongated flower pots with different types and colors of flowers and plants. Really quite pretty. Plus this is home for the famous lime tree which I devoted a complete blog to some time ago.

The humming birds really like a certain type of yellow flower called a cameron. It looks a bit like a shrimp. That's the only one we have that seems to attract them. The humming birds are quite a lot of fun to watch. They are very colorful, but don't stay long. Maybe 30 second at best, then they're off.

If there is little breeze this is the place one can catch it. The mirador is the best place to nap, too.

Remember God only gives us a certain number of days. I don't plan on waisting the ones I have left.

Until we talk again.
