Maximum saturation. . .

We are coming out of the "Green Season" or what most folks call the rainy season. However, the past four to five days have been much wetter than normal. It rained for nearly four straight days, and everything was reaching maximum saturation levels.

The grounds were soaked through and we were worried about high winds (especially considering the cyclone that came through in September) that would bring down a lot of trees that were weakened at the roots from all of the rain.

This was very abnormal for our area at any time of the year. It was more like the Northwest, where it will drizzle all day, every day, for six months. Typically here, it will cloud up and rain for an hour or two and then clear up. Not this time.

Luckily, we escaped any falling trees, though it made for some slippery footing around the place once the rain finally stopped.
