But of course! 50 meters from the road, leave two red cabinet doors leaning against a tree. Kids? But why?
There must be a reason.
Lost and found
AHA! After inexplicably losing the gas cap for our lawnmower in the space of 15 meters from the garage to the lawn (the driveway was torn up, but we scoured everything), I was dismayed to find that an essential part of the weedeater had also gone missing. Again, I looked everywhere.
Though I couldn’t imagine any reason it might have ended up apart from the machine in the shed of our little country property, today I felt compelled to check there, even being quite wet after a dog walk in the rain. I almost didn’t find it, for some reason several feet beyond my little work table in the unlit shed, lying on the dirt floor.
But … AHA!
Unusual ant work
Strange hole. Maybe the width of a pencil. A ring of scattered sand from below, but no tracks, no signs of any activity.
Another little mystery from a dog walk in Villa Argentina norte.
Staring at me
When you realize your toaster oven is glowering at you. And has been. For a very long time.

Snow in Uruguay!
OK, very localized. Perhaps having something to with the refrigerator we bought when we arrived 11 years ago, which is not self-defrosting.
I had never imagined I’d live in a place where I considered 60% relative humidity to be “dry.”
We don’t have snow in Uruguay. Frost a few ties a year, but no snow.
