A Day in the Life Near Patzcuaro

Not an educational or instructional video, just a day in the life of a lucky woman living in Mexico. I'm living near Patzcuaro, Michoacan in a little casita by the lake.
Autumn in the mountains of Mexico is a fascinating tapestry of incredible life. The summer rains breathe vitality into the landscape, transforming the earth into a lush canvas of greens, golds, and deep purples. Wildflowers in bloom, painting the sides of roads with brilliant splashes of color, while the scent of damp earth mingles with the sweet aroma of blooming sage.
As the sun arcs lower in the sky, its golden rays filter through the mist that often blankets the peaks, creating a dreamy glow. Vibrant butterflies flit among the flowers, and the chatter of birds fills the air, adding to the song of life that thrives in this season.
Autumn in the mountains of Mexico is not just a transition; it’s a celebration of life and renewal, and an invitation to be present in every moment.

Thank you for seeing the beauty in Mexico 🇲🇽. I feel closer to God when I’m there. My soul aches with happiness and peace.

[@montysano]

This channel celebrates so much of what i love about Mexico. Just lovely. Miss it so much, can't wait to be back.

[@janetseager4069]

I love your posts, but this one almost brought tears to my eyes. I lived on the lake (Huecorio) in the 90s for about 18 months, some of the best months of my life. I haven't been back since 2017, but am hoping to get back next year, either for a month or forever. It depends on Henry and Hobbs who at 14 are too old to travel from New Zealand. I have researched so many places I might settle, thinking going back to Patzcuaro might be a disappointment. Now, watching your posts, and a few others, I cant imagine anywhere else I would rather be. Thank you so much for sharing. Know that they bring absolute joy to this aging heart.

[@MoraMargaret]

Thank you so much. I hope you make the best decision for you and Henry and Hobbs. Traveling can be rough on dogs. My two suffered the first week when we were in the car so much. Best of luck to you and thanks for such a sweet comment!

[@gogreentaxi858]

Thanks for Showing the real face of México.....

[@rjolleyhomes]

you have a artistic gift of matching cinematography and music that expresses your feelings so perfectly

[@siboneypeltier2307]

Yes, it was so beautiful it made me tear up! thank you, rjolleyhomes for putting my feelings into words and thank you, Mora, for another beautiful video from extraordinary Mexico! cheers and much love!

[@arthurgarcia7790]

I like and appreciate your videos, past and present. I find myself being able to identify with your casual yet mindful pursuits. Patzcuaro feels soulful. Thank you.

[@ancientone8815]

One of your best videos. I didn’t want it to end.

[@alanserjeant4947]

I couldn't agree more. 🙂

[@MoraMargaret]

Muchas gracias. I don't always have something instructional to say. I'm glad you liked it!

[@MelanieLichtinger]

Que bonito. Thank you for inviting us into your life and taking us with you in Patzcuaro. Very heart- and soulful. Looking forward to your video about your journey to the Mariposa sanctuary!

[@peterz53]

Putting Mexico in a new light for me. Thank you for the effort you put into making these wonderful videos.

[@MoraMargaret]

Glad you like them :)

[@EarthAngel1111x]

Hahaha!! SO CUTE when your fur baby sniffed the butterfly 🦋 wing and it stuck to his nose!

[@MoraMargaret]

That guy! Always in the middle of everything!

[@jes98107]

Oh my gosh-I'm so excited to visit! The flight is scheduled for about two weeks from now. I can't wait to visit this beautiful area. Great video! Thank you.

The visua ls of your videos are amazing, I watch them on full screen and I get so completely immersed in the beauty Ifeel as if I was there.

[@MoraMargaret]

Oh good, I'm glad. Thank you :)

[@hildiefuentes5484]

I love your videos. My husband and I lived in Mexico for 20 years and am hoping to return soon. Life is just so relaxed compared to California. Best of luck and we continue to watch your videos.

[@MoraMargaret]

Please do! Yes, I know what you mean about the difference in the two places!

[@DeborahSoucek]

Thank you for another beautiful video. Looks like heaven!

[@MoraMargaret]

My pleasure!

[@StewartRoatan]

Good job MM. I think your more recent videos are much better… uplifting even (not a negative toward your earlier work). Your change video is very spot-on. Attitude is everything, especially living in a sometimes difficult land. Roatan, Honduras aqui. Thank you for the journey even though we sometimes disagree. All the best. Love the pups.

[@MoraMargaret]

Thanks for your thoughtful comment!

[@yadrog.4405]

You are a very lucky strong woman to be doing what you do! Your videos are very calming and well done.Thank you.

[@MoraMargaret]

You are welcome. I feel very lucky!

[@kellyname5733]

Your video technique is wonderful and I love the drone footage. Music is really good too. You are the most serene content creator that I watch....very nice.

[@MoraMargaret]

Thank you! I didn't know when I started this channel that I would be considered "calm" and "serene" but I appreciate it!

[@desertdogo]

Beautiful

[@MoraMargaret]

Thank you!

[@legalmexican]

Another great video, young lady. You're quite talented.

[@MoraMargaret]

Thank you so much 😀

[@terrybirchfiel1447]

I live on the Central Coast of California and there is a monarch butterfly grove in Pismo Beach. I didn't realize they travelled all the way to Mexico. I love Mexico and look so forward to seeing your videos! Thanks for sharing your adventures!

[@MoraMargaret]

My pleasure. I didn't know they have a hangout spot in California. They really know how to live ;)

[@neal-stewart834]

great beautiful thank you

[@MoraMargaret]

Welcome 😊

[@roundpaws]

Such a tranquillo vida! Beautiful video.

[@Cuernavacachica02]

It is very beautiful there! I spent a summer in Morelia studying and it was lovely too, but a little cool for me. We took a day trip to Pátzcuaro but it has changed a great deal since then. I live in Cuernavaca, which is south of Mexico City. I love it and have been here since 2014. This July 4 was the ten year anniversary! 😊. I love the calmness of your videos and your dogs are beautiful.

[@MoraMargaret]

Gracias! Yes, it is pretty cool here. I'd like to see Cuernavaca, I hear it's beautiful. Me and my dogs thank you ;)

[@robertbolin8942]

Que amable eres. I enjoy your videos so much. They are always well crafted.

[@MoraMargaret]

Thank you so much!

[@josephquillian2866]

Jorge and I enjoyed the images you shared with us, Mora. Your video made us smile. "Energy flows where intention goes." Your intention -- for the time being -- is to live in this beautiful environment and take in all the wonders Nature has to offer. La vida es buena. Greetings from Querétaro where we and Buddy (our handsome, happy Golden Retriever) are coming up on three years since we moved here from Dallas. ¡Un abrazo! Joseph ("Pepe") Quillian

[@joanlovelace7338]

Oh the beauty of Mexico talks to me. I get so excited when i see you've post. The flowers and hummers are absolutely gorgeous. The butterfly wi g that stuck to your dogs nose hilarious. Darling place you have with beautiful grounds. Did you get your Thunder vest? The storm remimded me. Thanks so much for the tour can't wait until the next.

[@MoraMargaret]

It talks to me too :) Thanks for watching. The T. vest has been delayed. I tried to put my t shirt on her but she didn't like that. There have been less thunder storms in the last week so maybe the rainy season is slowly coming to an end. Thanks for your comment!

[@saloninegi147]

So nice to see you doing well! I've travelled some through Mexico. I have made my home in Playa del Carmen over the past ten years, with a break in there of almost two years, to experience Mexico City. You make very nice videos. I can really sense the beauty and gentleness of your soul. Thank you, Mora.

[@MoraMargaret]

You are so kind. Thank you!

[@j.whisper2379]

Have lived in Patzcuaro for the last 11 years. Not perfect, but I won't leave!

[@maureenmurphy3690]

It's really so beautiful where you live. The flora is amazing. I love the hummers and butterflys and of course your 2 cute dogs. You have found a beautiful spot. Do you think you could live here long term?

[@MoraMargaret]

I could, but I don't know if I will. I'm craving dry weather and the coast! But it's beautiful here year round, so it would be a good choice. There is so much more I'd like to see!

[@jacqdanieles]

​@@MoraMargaret definitely put Taxco on your list. You'll not be disappointed.

[@lucaspackel1196]

Your presentation is so beautiful! The photography and music, your choice of scenery I sincerely appreciate. Do use a drone for some of it.? I live in Playas de Tijuana, in Baja California.

[@petertonelli2761]

great video,you calmed my soul

[@MoraMargaret]

I'm glad :)

[@doinglifewithjenny8501]

That view!!

[@MoraMargaret]

I know!

[@yvonnebirch6026]

Beautiful video ! There is Monarch butterfly sanctuary in Pacific Grove close to my home in California. I love where you live now. Much love ❤❤

[@MoraMargaret]

Thank you! I didn't know there were any in California. Those amazing creatures get around :)

[@lailja21]

I remember loving quesadillas from street vendors... especially quesadillas with potato and squash blossoms... yummy 😋!! Felt like was walking along with you throughout video... albeit flying every so often 😉 All so thoughtfully put together. I did wonder how your life compares today to when you were a working gal ☺️

[@MoraMargaret]

I'm 100x happier than when I was working. Just to have the time and energy to appreciate the natural beauty around me! Thanks for watching :)

[@TheAllyjade]

Thank you for sharing your amazing journey. I am gearing myself up to do something similar as you. I am of Mexican descent, American born, bilingual and have always felt at home when visiting Mx. I want to find the perfect location to live But first visit visiting/ spending time in various places. My only drawback is the driving. I wouldn’t want to do my own driving. Do you think it is possible to explore Mexico on my own without driving myself around? Sending Many blessing!

[@sammyreyes63]

Wow! Beautiful! Patzcuaro is on our list of places to visit on our discovery trip. Looking forward to the discovery of the beauty you have found. I have a couple of questions. Did you have a hard time finding parking? We are thinking about bringing a car. We are just wondering about car ownership in Mexico. Things like maintenance (oil changes, etc) and repairs.

[@MoraMargaret]

In centro Patzcuaro I found a cheap and easy place I park, in a lot, because I don't see any readily available street parking when I'm there. I keep meaning to ask a local about any good spots to look. If I was without the dogs I would really consider moving into a Centro somewhere and giving up the car. There is great bus service here. But with the dogs I need the car to transport them with me. There are plenty of recommendations in local groups for mechanics and oil changers. If I had to do it over again I might think twice about bringing a Lexus. It's not a very familiar brand here.

[@sammyreyes63]

@@MoraMargaret That makes sense. It's a Toyota RAV4 equivalent right? So, they should be able to work on it. I haven't joined any of the local groups yet. Will look into those when we're ready to go. Thanks again!

[@j.whisper2379]

Much of the food is greasy!

[@j.whisper2379]

Estado Michoacan! Did you see all the violence!

[@mexipatti]

Do you give Immigration a new address every time you get a new rental?

[@MoraMargaret]

No, the rule is 90 days. So when I was almost 90 days out from my original address I notified them, and now that I'm staying here a while I'm notifying them. I hope I'm doing it right!
