I realized I should have started this posting with a Happy Pongal greeting...please forgiveme if any of you are avid Pongel celebrators! This morning we woke to a fog...not weather related, smoke related. Pongal begins with burning things thus the air was thick with smoke. These are some photos taken from our rooftop patio. Millie even was checking out the view.

One of the things we purchased in Mamallapuram was a hammock. We have a tree that is just perfect for one but of course I always keep my eyes open for snakes in the tree. Which by the way we haven't seen any snakes yet. I was convinced my this time I would have been bitten by a king cobra! Let's just hope this yard remains snake free. Don't worry you will here my scream far away if I set eyes on one!
