As we walked the Mdog around the neighborhood here this afternoon, it was hard not to think back just a few days ago to our time along the shore of Lake Chapala in Jalisco


The street where we live - if you look closely you can see Pat and the Mdog near the center. The winter landscape around here is sort of nice - for a day or two. People told us that while it does snow occasionally here, it usually is gone by mid-day. They lied.
