When There's Nothing Else to Talk About ... Talk About the Weather

Rainy season has started, and it rains almost every day. This definitely has its pros and cons.

Cons: it doesn't just rain, it storms, complete with loud cracks of thunder and the extremely annoying sound of rain drops on a tin roof. It gets so noisy it's sometimes hard to sleep at night. Also, our street has a tendency to flood, so we have to pick our way through the puddles on our way to work.

(This is what our street looked like at lunch time today.)

However, there is one pro which far outweighs the cons: the weather cools off immensely, so we don't get nearly as hot! In fact, we can even go some days without breaking a sweat at all. Yay!

Rainy season lasts until around October, so do you think we should invest in some galoshes?!

And on a completely unrelated subject ...
We've added a new link over in the right-hand column. Check it out for a place to order great, mostly free, resources about West Africa!

YAY! Our weather is pretty much like that right now. I feel like we are connected by rain.

Wish we had some of your rain here
in Alabaster, Alabama. Hi Beth,
I play dominoes each Friday with
AliceAnne & Jerry. We were in high school at the same time. Peter played with us one time and we enjoyed him. Your grandmother gave me your blog address and am enjoying your pictures and messages. You and Deron are on my prayer list. God bless!
