Another Sunday in Chennai
A typical site and sound in the Esmerelda & Yitzy household.
Update: For some zany reason the people of blogspirit have raised the pitch of the above sound file by a few octaves...not sure why...

Uncle Yitzy, are you wearing a towel? I saw you playing the flute. Uncle Yitzy, you are funny. Are you in your backyard?
Love from, Lily L

Hi Lily!
I hope you are well! I miss you!
I am not wearing a towel but something called a dhoti. See this site to see pictures of Indian mean wearing dhoti's:

Sometimes in the street you can see men wearing a dhoti 'mini-skirt' style and nothing else, kind of like me in the picture above. It is very comfortable, especially when it is hot out.
In the picture you can see me in our little balcony garden.
Hope to see you soon!
Love,
Uncle Yitzy

Nice Garden...i am guessing the cocunuts strewn around is esmerelda's job..

The coconuts have been placed outside so they can dry. Yitzy plans to carve them at some point. At this point however, it is mostly an attraction for the squirrels and birds who like to eat as much coconut as they can get out from them. Some squirrels almost squirm all the way in, come out with a chunk, and sit there chomping away. They seem to like the orange coconuts more. A nice side and unintended benefit of drying coconuts.
