Rain, rain. . .

We're heading into another rainy season down here and when it does open up, it can really pour. We can't hear the telephone ring (let alone talk) at times as most of the roofs here are some sort of metal. It's really nice to have the skies open up and to have the rain come down and green everything up again.

Typically, it will cloud up and storm for an hour or two in this season, as well as toss out some thunder and lightning, which puts on its own show.

Luckily, there's not too much wind as the rain itself wreaks havoc on branches and everything and makes cleaning up the grounds the next day a chore. If there is wind, then there's a lot more stuff scattered about.
