After nearly 6 months of no rain, the first rains that fall are soo sweet. It's like a reminder of God's faithfulness. Never late, just on time and sometimes even earlier than you expect. We have been getting our first few rains. Of course there are downfalls as well. While it's raining it's cool, afterwards it heats up and gets really humid until the next rain. After rainy season is in full swing the time lapse between rains won't be so great and the humidity might not build as much.
In a month or so the grass will come up again and we'll have a yard, like what you see in the background of this picture.
Right now our yard looks like the background in this picture. Elianna seems to attract dirt. It's a bit hard to tell from the picture but her face is pretty dirty.
In preparation for rainy season the people burn their field to prepare for planting. Here's some smoke from one of those burning times. It sort of looks like our house is on fire.
The burning fields and the smoke can really stink. Depending on the wind you might even get a layer of ask in your house. Fun fun!
Not to mention it blocks the sunlight so it's harder for our solar system to charge!
This is the road right near our base. It's hard to tell but the big trees in the foreground are in full bloom with beautiful red flowers. It was a breath of fresh air in the midst of a mainly brown landscape.
