Heard the coyote and saw the road runner

 At last! Tolerable weather, but only for three days. Today's high is supposed to be 81 degrees. My kind of weather, but we still have some of the wind. By Friday it will be back up to 100+ again. 

This is on my desk calendar. Took me a few days before I noticed it. 

Went for a walk this morning, such a pleasure with the breeze and cool temperatures. This is our little bush in the side yard. It has really grown this year. For a couple of years we didn't think it would make it. I like it because it blooms all summer. 
On the walk we passed The Road Runner. Heard the coyotes howling last night so hope he is being careful. This is the first one I've seen here. 
Not as much smoke in the air today but a lot of dust. So didn't go too far. 
Still playing with the air fryer. This was yesterday. Stuffed mushrooms. Stuffed with Brie and sprinkled with breadcrumbs and a little cheese and olive oil. Pretty good. Didn't remember to take a picture until we eaten most of them. 
Well nuts - I had a 4:10 appointment with the cardiologist and they called me at 2 and asked if I could come in sooner. You bet! So it is now 4:10 and we are home already. Saw doctor and went to lab to have blood drawn. And now I have three more appointments with that doctor's office. My blood pressure is UP - I think it's because of all the hiding in the house we've been doing. He didn't seem too worried, just changing one of my meds. Just for this month we have six more doctor's appointments between us. So fun to get older.
Hopefully for the next few days it will be cool enough to get out and about some.

We'll be here longer!


Well this is one way of doing it. Lifting the wheelbarrow off of one roof 
 and putting it down on another. 
 This guy is getting a work out -- using a hand compactor. Of course right behind us. 
 He is working at the wall and dump truck after dump truck comes barreling backwards just a few inches from him. And he doesn't even look up. 
 Out to the market. Street cleaners. A barrel, a broom, a shovel and a bag.
 At the market - she is cleaning cactus leaves.
 More weird weather this morning. Looking north east. Front moving through I guess. Had lots of wind again last night. 
 Looking south west. 
We keep thinking they have put enough dirt along the north wall that they should be finished dumping. But notice the concrete wall - at arrow - without the pile next to wall the compacted part is still about six inches below top of wall. NOOOOOOOOOO! Maybe they will leave it that way. 
 Doesn't this look like a little bear sitting here?   Just a piece of rotted tree trunk, but reminds me of a chain saw figure.
 Arms growing on this cactus? 
 The cactus - a saguaro. 
We will be staying here in Mazatlan for a while longer. Going to pay rent for two more weeks. Bill got back results from test and he still has major infection. Secondary infection is cleared up. So now he will be getting injections for at least five days. Then another test. The pill antibiotics really messed with his stomach so hoping the injection won't bother him as much. Interesting the way it is done here. Doctor gives us the prescription, we go to pharmacy and buy the five separate doses of the antibiotic. Go to the hospital and doctor injects it. By some fate of strange luck the antibiotics were on sale - instead of paying  2852pesos for the five doses we only paid 275 pesos! Quite a savings and no charge for the doctor to give the injection. Just so they work.
Ugh the noise from the compactor behind us is LOUD!
