My mother's courtyard
A place that now exists only in memories...



The last remnant of any real contact with Mexico.

Now, we are all on this side of the border.

4. I do.
It was a magical place.

The trunk you see to my right, whitewashed, is a peacan tree. In the fall, it would give enough pecans to last till December.

Sigh.

2. Absolutely gorgeous!
I wish I was there right now having a glass of wine instead of sitting in my living room having one!
