Moon, Bugs, Animals and Bar-b-que

Rings Around the Moon
A few nights ago the night sky was amazing. There was this beautiful ring around the moon and the sky was so clear! The first two pictures below are from my phone and it did not capture the ring. The 3rd picture is from an actual camera and you can barely see the ring. :(

Below are images from the web that look similar to what we saw that night.

Caterpillar and Moths
Here are the bugs for the week. The large moth was over 3 inches and had a cool camo-look going on. :)​​

Dog Picture
The dog can make anything a pillow!

Mat's Birthday
We went to see the monkeys and sloths in Volcan. There is lady there that treats orphaned and injured animals and exotic animals that people had kept as pets at one time. (The sloths love to be fed almonds!) She even has a hyperbaric chamber that was used to help one of the sloths recover from an eye injury.

The trip started off with a drive that was a little over an hour and would have been a little quicker if some cows had not decided to block the road that day. :)

Bar-b-que Fest
After our outing to see the animals, we went the Boquete Bar-b-que Fest. They were having a competition for the best bar-b-qued hamburgers, chicken, brisket and ribs. Live music and wafer cookies filled with caramel. Mat decided the cookies were pretty good.

We were rooting for one of our guests in the Coffee Can to win the competition, who sadly did not win the competition, but he still had fun.

Coming up soon
We almost have the new shed done and then it will be on to the solar drying area. In between those projects, we have some tile work to finish and flashing for some new gutters. Our to-do list does not seem to be getting smaller.....
