Really Spring?

Not to complain but the last two winters have produced really cold weather right at the last minute so that it seems winter will never end. Anyway might be over now. But did do something unusual on a miserable day which was to try to cook a pie. Tried to cut down on the sugar and oil probably a little too much. But it looked ok and was healthy even if not hugely delicious.

Went to Costa Rica over the winter and stayed a few nights at a place called Essence Arenal. Arenal is the name of a volcano. Went to a hot spring that was more like a rapidly running river - Tabacon. Very nice.

Then we went to a friend's place on the beach that was almost a religious experience. Nearby was this strange bird and its baby sitting on a fence post absolutely still with sharp beaks pointing up. Ojoojo is what they call it. Have never seen anything like it. May be a night bird that just blends in during the day. Do you see them?
