Don't you hate when that happens

Welcome to Paso Hondo 141 in Aguascalientes, Mexico. 

That is the address where Alma and I live and this the front "door" or porton as we like to say.  Our story begins right here where I was sweeping the front side walk.  This is one chore that I hate doing (Alma obviously does too) especially since we have a little stip of grass there (and there isn't much grass around here) the dogs love to come and do there business right there and I get to clean it up.  So I was recently sweeping the area when the wind took the door and closed it and, of course, it locked.  And don't you hate it when you forget to bring your keys with you?  So since I couldn't jimmy the lock and I didn't want to wait 5 hours for Alma to come home.  I asked the neighbor if I could get onto her roof and climb down into our property.  She is friendly so let me do just that.   There is just one problem....

I had to get my way from the top of that wall to the small wall where the plant on the left is located.  But I really didn't want to wait 5 hours outside. SOOO  Mission accomplished thanks in no small part to a nail that was conveniently stuck into the wall about 2 feet above and just to the right of the ledge.  Lesson learned.

Well, since I was out taking picures.  I thought I would take some more and show you my neighborhood.

Turning left from our place

lovely art work

This heads to a major roadway where we get the bus (camion) or taxi.

Behind this car....convenient dumping area for construction trash

More art

And the tour leads us back to our house.

Today was my laundry day

The latest completed project was laying down the concrete in garage area.

To the left of the "garage" is a room with it's own bath.  As is typical in most Mexican homes, it is waiting to be finished.  This is for Alma's parents for whenever they decide to come.

The future garden.  This is the before pic and hope to have the after pic soon!

So y'all come back now ya hear
