Sunday April 23, 2017
The first couple of shots are from Friday morning, on my way to recover Buzzer. With a lot of rain in the Cajas the Rio Tomebamba remains swollen. We have seen it rise 3 feet within
a half-hour in the past, because it is so shallow, so it wouldn't take much to leap the banks in several places in the city. Fortunately our home is on the higher bank in Monay.
Saturday afternoon I got a message from our friend Lotis that she had done some baking of Philipino delicacies and that she had made extras for us. This morning I rode over and had
a really nice visit with Lotis, Mike, Sully and Bella. Then Cristina and I devoured the goodies as soon as I got home. Yummy!!! Cristina now wants to learn how to cook the noodle dish...
This morning our rescued birds, the blue-winged mountain tanagers, were watching outside with the window cracked open about 3 inches. I suggested to Cristina that that little opening
did not give them any real opportunity to spread their wings and fly away as nature intended. She opened the window further and, lo and behold, one of the birds jumped at the chance and went into the big tree outside and
watched us for a long time. It always cocks its head in the direction of Cristina's voice, their mother for the past months. The other one is much more timid and not quite ready to make the leap yet, even though she
flies around the room easily.
This afternoon Cristina was joined by Carlos and Dany, other cooking afficionados to try out some different recipes. That certainly is a good hobby for the 3 of them and a chance for
camaraderie.
BTW, all photos are taken with the new Lumix ZS-60.
EVENING UPDATE: The timid sister summoned up the courage to fly the coop as well. Cristina is both happy and sad, no doubt from the empty nest syndrome.

I hope you enjoy the photos. That was the day’s excitement.
Cheers, Al
