THE RAINY SEASON HAS ARRIVED! 2 December, 2012

Just after midnight, the 2nd December, 2012 our rainy season arrived in all its glory!!
I had just switched off my light, hadn't even got comfortable yet when down came the rain. I was so excited, I know not why.........my excitement was tempered by the thought of my neighbours, once again, sheltering in their little homes. How water-proof are they?

A POEM TO CELEBRATE THE ARRIVAL OF OUR RAINY SEASON ON THIS MAD MAGICAL ISLAND:

RAIN
No drops.
Pelting, slashing, crashing.
Endless moments, minutes, riveting.
Listening, breath abated, ecstatic.
Evoking memories,
rhythm of seasons,
course unchanged.
I arrived,
it was the rainy season.   by  HADAR

There is something to be said about this sky when it arrives after a couple of days of scorching heat and wicked wind..........

But I am reminded......the humidity warns me, the heat intensifies from here on.....
But then again I am a little crazy. I love the heat......and we have the sea and the amazing swimming pool I call my own!
