She’s Blossoming!
Frangipani (Plumeria) Blossoms in one of my favorite little vases.

Century’s End
Flowers way past their prime have a charm all their own. These tenacious ladies seem to be clinging to the stalk for as long as possible, just like some of us intend to do!!!
(The century plant blooms once–for a very long time–and then dies, but another plant always springs up in its place.)
More flowers HERE!!
I saw this beauty in the Panteon today and had to save it for Cee’s challenge.

Hanging Gardens!
A nursery in Ajijic hung marigolds from a massive tree at its entrance for Dia de los Muertos. Stunning!

Marigolds are seen in profusion on Day of the Day altars and graveyards. I snapped these at the Lake Chapala Society during a lull in the rain today.

I never did order one of these mocha drinks at La Rueda coffee shop. I couldn’t be trusted to know how good they were.
Do they look like luscious chocolates and macaroons? Wrong. They are sweet potato balls brought to a friend’s Thanksgiving feast…rolled in coconut or pecans and brown sugar. Yes, they were delicious!!!
This pancake breakfast ordered by a friend at Martha’s Cafe in Ajijic was as good as it looks. Proof below:
But, the shocker was that the oatmeal I ordered was just as good! I was too hungry to get a picture of it. Guess I’ll have to go back to prove it to you!!!
Happy Halloween! Zinnia.
