Alicia and her cousin Andrew 4 years ago during rainy season in Mossoró.There isn’t much that compares with the first real rain of the season. Maybe it is watching everyone run out into the rain to enjoy the awesome coolness after too many months of really hot, really dry weather. It could be the adrenilin rush that you get from racing for for the pans, buckets and basins to catch all the leaks (because of shifting ceiling tiles or windows that don’t seal) that have been forgotten in the last 8 months since the last real rain. Or maybe it is the excitement of running around and unplugging EVERYTHING because the lightning is ominously close? Once struck by lightning you never see your appliances quite the same again. Half of the appliances will burn out in the split second lightning strikes and the other half will burn out when the electrical current surges back just seconds after.
Looking out over into our yard from the balcony of our apartment. Beautiful!
Clara, who is scared of thunder, is quite happy for the "special treatment." :)
Looking out over into our yard from the balcony of our apartment. Beautiful!Despite the inconveniences of leaks, power outages, and radio internet going down, the rain is more than welcome. The interior is in desperate need of water for crops, animals and daily living. Everywhere, the unbearable heat has been replaced by the coolness provided by cloud cover and the rain itself. The thick brown dust that has been covering everything green is washed off so colors are once again visible and vibrant. (Not to mention a little less cleaning for at least a couple of days!)
A peek at our house through the trees...freshly painted (the house, that is!)

Yeah for rain and change!
I didn't realize your apartment was so close to your ex-home! I would find that difficult! You can have our rain anytime you want it..........
