It's that time of year again. . .

When the afternoon thunder and lightning storms blow through.

It can kick up quite the racket and it drives the poor pooches absolutely nuts. It throws Mini-B and Sweetie off their feed (nothing gets in the way of mealtime for Bejuca).

At times, the thunder will shake the windows here at the house and you can feel the rumble.

From now through October and a bit into November, the storms will be the norm in the afternoon. It will bring a bit of rain for a while and then clear up (the mornings are nice) and refresh the jungle, which is nice.

The deeper into the "Green Season" (the Tico code word for the rainy season) the earlier the storms will last.
