If you do something twice, it's a tradition, right? Peter and Andrew and I celebrated the signing of the contract for Loon Point at Louis in St. Paul, and here we are, celebrating The Turnip House!

Pauline and I saw Little Women at the Guthrie tonight. It was a new adaptation that focused on the early career of Louisa May Alcott. You know I'm going to like any story about a new novelist!

Okay, it's just squill. But this is what Minnesota spring looks like. It looks like squill.

Just enough time before we left Mexico this morning for a breakfast and a quick walk around town. We won't be back until the end of September and we will miss San Miguel de Allende!

This is Candy, the dog with eyebrows. Her owner told me that he does not like these Sharpie eyebrows on her. I asked him why she had the eyebrows if he did not like them.
"Because SHE likes them!" he told me. So there you have it.

A few more pictures from last night. The rain held off until the final moments when the thunder crashed and sent the last partygoers scurrying. One thing we know for sure: There will be more parties!

It's an amaryllis on the roof, blooming it's crazy heart out. I'm going to follow its example. ❤️

The Parroquia in San Miguel, is an architectural wonder. It is beautiful from all angles, at all times of day. Here is a side view I took last evening.

These two plants were put in "time out" on the rooftop, near where the laundry dries. I don't know what they did to deserve this treatment. The bougainvillea is lovely!

On my crazy couch! It was the inspiration for The Turnip House, the book that just sold, and so I decided I had to have it. (And it was 40% off!)

Did I have a fun day! I visited my sister's classroom and talked about Loon Point with students and faculty. It was terrific getting comments and questions from a younger set of readers than usual. SO great.

Felix says, "Where does Mama think she's going?"
Mama is going to the Public Library Association Conference in Minneapolis to sit at her publisher's table and sign copies of Loon Point!

So, yesterday, Peter had a tooth extracted, got very dizzy, and fainted in the bathroom. He landed on his head, on the ceramic toilet paper dispenser. He's feeling a bit better today, with a lot of stitches and a very black eye! Poor Peter.

No Kings rally in San Miguel de Allende, MX.
Today is the celebration of the Altares de Dolores, elaborate altars dedicated to Our Lady of Sorrows decorated with flowers, candles, symbolic items. This one featured live music.

It was a BIG job, but these three guys got our new FABULOUS sofa up to our third floor apartment in San Miguel. As soon as it was in, Felix called dibs on it!

Nina and I in front of the many painted suns at Casa de los Soles.
Nina and I went for a walk last night. Nina bought a dress. I gave out many dog treats. We ended up sitting in the jardin, listening to Mariachi music on the "Canadian bench," even though neither of us is Canadian!

I got to go to a concert with Jade at El Charco, the environmental preserve where Peter hikes every day. A female brass band from Oaxaca was playing at the bottom of the canyon. Big fun!

Casa de los Soles closes the restaurant at 4:00. But not tonight! Tonight, David Mendoza and his parents came to perform and the place was packed!

Nothing to see here. Just some guys learning how to dance on drywall stilts. As one does.
