The rain is so loud - especially the heavy tropical rain like we just had - and yet suddenly it stops and all is silent - and very still. The birds aren't chirping, and trees aren't moving, and there is none of the usual breeze. Bits of cloud hang in the mountain valley barely moving.
Doesn't last long - 5, maybe 10 minutes - then the birds start - a call here and there - soon it is back to the normal chatter.
Today was a rainy one - was over cast when we woke up, started raining around 10 and just let up now - 1:15. Good heavy rain - Lisle moved the car out of the carport so it could get the dust rinsed off! Brighter over the ocean now - hopefully a better afternoon!
It has rained almost every night this week - mother nature seems to be fighting off the dry season - the rain isn't a bad thing - keeps everything green - but is keeps the humidity up as well. The good thing about overnight rain is that the horizon starts to cloud over late in the afternoon - while you don't get to see the sun slip into the ocean, you do get spectacular sunsets.
