This was a walkway through a worn part of the dune about ten years ago. With time and wind, the dune grew back, burying the wooden walkway, which rotted away over the years.

Adapting weeds
Our front lawn has always been plagued with dandelion-type weeds. Left to their own, they will grow a foot or so high. This year, they managed to get away from me, and suddenly the font yard was a sea of yellow. I cut them down with the lawnmower before they could go to seed. Lo and behold, they came back, this time flowering close to the ground, and very rapidly going to seed.
Clever little bastards!
First paltas
Avocado season has officially begun! (The little on one the right dropped off the tree a few days ago. It doesn’t count 😉
Critter tracks and human trash
An extraordinary number of critter tracks, unlike I’ve ever seen.
And unfortunately, something I have seen before: despite the outstanding trash collection here, someone thinks it’s a good idea to haul a bright orange plastic bag full of trash into the middle of nowhere.
I actually cleaned the car
Which I like to do twice a year, whether it needs it or not. This involved removing empty water bottles, which I left on a lawn chair.
Apparently the dog thought it his assignment to chew them up. Every. Single. One.
“Who, me?”
How-to tip, Uruguay style
How to dispose of your old stereo in Uruguay: take it into a field and dump it. Yesterday we saw someone carrying off these speakers after they had sat out in a rainstorm a few days ago.
Sandias
Have a few! And slow around corners, please.

Plan B
When you put something on the chair so the dog won’t sit on it.
The wind’s early harvest
The biggest is half fully-grown size.
