It has been raining for three days now. In the 40's and 50's. Not exactly what you would call the best of weather. We do like it warmer outdoors, but it's warm inside. Can't control the weather, just have to make the best of it.
To put some bright color into these dreary days, I'm looking back to where
we lived in Mexico.
COLORFUL HOMES IN MEXICO ~
THESE WOULD BRIGHTEN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD!
This is a small town, not too far from where we lived in Mazatlan.
The homes are quiant and colorful. Many homes in this town and surrounding towns are painted from the bright side of the colorwheel.
To be so free!? Imagine going out some weekend and painting your home so bright. People would be driving by...comments would be flying around...oh my.
Guess it just wouldn't "fit in". Different cultures are a good thing!
Colorful produce, at the market, in Mexico. 
Raising sheep on your roof. This was not in a small, out of the way town in Mexico. This was in a neighborhood of Mazatlan, a very large city. Sometimes you have to do, what you have to do.
Our Lady of Guadalupe graces the side of this home and there is a food vendor's stand, folding closed, right on the corner.
Wonder if the sheep is being raised to make barbacoca, to be served with a variety of sauces, guacamole, and lime right from the food stand?
(Barbacoca-made by roasting a whole sheep or lamb in a pit dug in the ground. The sheep's "view" of life is high from his roof perch, also high for the owner, as every part of the sheep will be used.)
The weather here will change soon. The weatherman is predicting a nice weekend. I see 70's and 80's, with sun on the forecast chart! Yippee!
The memories and colorful pictures of Mexico, lifted my dreary day, hope
they brought color to your day too.
