“A mannequin in a boutique window comes to life each night and wanders the streets,” Hinojosa explains.
THE LECHUZA FULL
The next morning, his backyard is full of songbirds.Īnother tale, “The Dark Night of the Mannequin,” retells the legend of Pascualita from Chihuahua City. While attempting to tamper-proof his bird feeder, he is attacked by a lechuza, which he hits with a shovel and kills as he realizes the bird is the shape-shifting old woman. He becomes upset when the woman insists it isn’t her cat killing the birds. He thinks she’s harmless but her cat keeps coming over the fence to kill songbirds that he feeds. The title story of the book, “Lechuza,” tells of a Korean war veteran who lives next door to a woman rumored to be a witch. In his fourth book, Hinojosa, who has taken on the nickname “Folklorist of the South Texas Brush Country,” recounts some of the stories he learned from relatives when he was a child. “The department loved the positive publicity,” he recalls. After publishing a folk story in a Houston magazine in 1994, he was invited to tell stories for schools and other groups all over the city. “I began collecting stories when I was about 16,” says Hinojosa, a retired Houston police officer who grew up in Hebbronville. Houston author Hernán Moreno Hinojosa draws on the legend of the mythical bird in his new collection of South Texas folk stories, Lechuza: Eerie and Unusual True Tales. The Spanish dictionary translation of lechuza is “barn owl,” but in Mexican American folklore, the lechuza is a shape-shifting figure that changes into an owl, usually to bring misfortune to someone.

The plant will be self-sufficient for up to twelve weeks once its roots have grown deep enough to soak up the water from the basin below. This shaft can also be used to add liquid fertilizer. Be sure to fill the water reservoir using the supply shaft found on the inside of the planter. Once completed, top water your greenery as you normally would for the next twelve weeks. Then apply a layer of high quality potting soil over the PON, insert your plantling, and continue to fill the pot with soil. Use the included Lechuza PON to form a water regulating layer over the separator. Place the separator into the bottom of the container to create a water reservoir.
