Last year it almost never started raining until 2:30 and only lasted anywhere from a few minutes to a couple of hours. I could almost set my clock by it. The skies were always clear by 9:00 at night when the Central Valley lights came back into view. This season has been different. The last few days have been very gloomy with little sunlight. The only time I remember it being like this last year was when hurricane Nate left us with a tropical storm for two continuous days.
The vegetation growth in one month has been startling. Things had begun to get a little brown through the dry season, and I discovered I had a pond of water in the pasture right behind my house. It had been hidden by all the growth. In just a few weeks of rain it is hidden again. Living in the tropics is amazing. You really see Mother Nature at work and quickly!
I have been told we are supposed to have a much wetter season this year. I loved it last year, but there was much more sunlight. I do hope it does not continue like this. Otherwise, it's going to be a long six months. It is a good thing I have a lot of friends here that like to get out and do things, rain or shine. That will help!
Pura Vida!
