I cut open a squash, itself from a volunteer plant, to discover it starting all over again.
The next day, an equally enthusiastic onion.
Must be spring.
Springing to life again

A hawk lost its lunch?
On the dog walk yesterday, there was suddenly a flurry of interest by the dogs, but no grabbing, chewing, or rolling. Just a fresh, disemboweled chicken carcass in the middle of nowhere. Syd thought I should show its location with a map photo, but no, trust me. Middle. Of. Nowhere.
Best guess is that it became a raptor feast.
That day when…
…everything flash froze (-17.78°C), but just for a little bit.
Funny how I don’t remember it.
Solís Chico
This is the lovely and scenic Solís Chico in Parque del Plata. My snapshots don’t do it justice. There are plenty of birds, and boats when it’s a little warmer. We were there recently for the 87th birthday of a friend with Alzheimer’s in a care home opposite. What a great location!
As we left, though, I couldn’t help but notice the distinctly different feel of the courtyard behind.
Another one I hope I don’t win
Flying to Qatar to cheer on Uruguay at the 2022 World Cup. And no, I didn’t win a candy basket some fifth grader sold me raffle tickets for.
What is the correct thing to do…
…when you find a large dead seal on the beach?
Bark at it. Because of course.
It begins. Again, again.
The first German monster-tourism vehicle of the season (yes, German; I did check: the license plate says “D”).
*Sigh* who knows, maybe we’ll get some amusing ones this year. You can see past years’ sightings here: https://expatinuruguay.com/tag/campers/
When it comes to traveling, nothing exceeds like excess!
Off to the dumpster
Other duties as assigned – the four door Renault Duster actually has considerably more cargo space than its four door pickup brother, the Oroch.
Something lost in translation?
What is the thinking?
Just like that, one day a broken TV appears in the middle of the path.
In the middle of nowhere.
Because of course. Where else would one dispose of an old, broken TV set?
