Still no Water

Mañana!!  That seems to be the continuing answer - apparently the capacitor needed to be replaced, and then the pump shaft failed - parts from San Jose - maybe later today.

That leaves me thinking about water from other sources - rain is a big deal here and was keeping the pool full.

Monday was a beautiful day - sunny and hot - high clouds and threatening clouds over the mountains, but no real rain (sometimes get a gentle mist for a few minutes - hardly notice it except for the drops in the pool).  As we went to bed Monday night, there was the strangest mist across the valley - lights glowing in it - almost ethereal!  Laying in bed, I said, is that rain?  Lisle said it isn't raining, but that sounds like it coming.  For 20 minutes we lay there listening - it was really strange because usually when you can hear it coming, the rain moves in very quickly, but not this time.  After almost 30 minutes it was drop, drop on the roof - and then downpour - heavy deafening rain.

That lasted most of the night and Tuesday was grey and wet on and off through the morning.  Then the sky cleared to a beautiful sunny afternoon and a wonderful sunset.  We went for dinner to Villas Gaia - on the way back the sky was clear - the moon shone and the stars were everywhere - a spectacular night sky!

Today has been clear so far - blue sky and puffy white clouds, but the mountains are graying!

The great thing about this time of year is that the sky is seldom clear - and the sky is the most amazing thing about this place - light and clouds on the mountains, or the ocean - and sunsets through the clouds that are unbelievable - - these are from the last few days!
