I love the return of the rains!
It started to pour yesterday.
I am very much a rainy season person. Maybe it is due to all my time in Seattle, Washington.
I love the sound of the rain hitting our tin roof.
I love the smell of the earth after the rain.
I love the sight and sound of my kids delighting in the downpour.
They love to immerse themselves in it: run and jump and get really really wet.
It also means the beginning of gardening season.
It is worth the wait to plant in the rainy season.
Things grow so easily – and fast – in the rainy season.
We have all sorts of gardening plans, so I am glad the time has arrived.
Really, the dry season is only about 3 or 4 months long, so relatively, it isn’t long to wait.
I particularly enjoy the cooler temperatures of the rainy season.
This March was so very hot.
March is usually the hottest month, but this March seemed particularly hot – at least it seemed so to me.
The ground was looking so very dry – almost scorched.
Now every thing is fresh.
Everything seems possible during the rainy season.
Puerto Armuelles Fair
Though I imagine the folks involved in the Fair are not happy about the sudden arrival of the rainy season.
Last week, the David Fair ended. Part of that fair came here to Puerto.
So now own more sedate, and in my mind more pleasant, Puerto Armuelles Fair is open.
We have plans to go to the Fair tognight.
Unlike Seattle, when it rains here in Panama, people stay home.
The fair folks are probably cursing the sky right now.
