More Creatures...

Appi the cat on the day we got her.

This poor possum/tlacuache had been injured by the local dogs.
 We've been in the house for 6 weeks now, and are still very happy with it. Rainy season finally seems to have come to an end, so it's nice to see things dry up, although night-time temperatures have felt pretty low. We've used the stove a few times as you can see in one of these photos.

We're still amazed by all the wildlife so we couldn't help posting about the latest sightings. Today I saw a praying mantis too, but it wasn't in our garden so it's not included here!

If anybody knows what this is then do tell!

Local lizard.


Some dining room creatures.
Appi enjoying a lap in front of the fire.

Progress in the garage

Rebuilding the west wall



Mid-'colado'
Preparing the roof
None of these photos show what the garage actually looks like now, as the cement roof/patio is done - although it might be a while before we can afford the finishing touches to the patio.

It's a nice, big, flat, sunny space, even if it does look ugly at the moment.
