Rain is falling all around...


Last night we had a wonderful rain storm right after dinner. The wind was coming from a different direction than it normally does and it blew over our Hobie Cat sailboat. It's never done that before! Having a rainstorm was a breath of fresh air....it's so normally hot here that it cools things down. Another advantage is that it fills our cisterns with much needed water. What is a cistern, you ask? Well, it's a large concrete holding usually situated under your house that holds water to use in your house. No, we did not have city water until about a year or two ago. We used to have to buy water and a truck would deliver it to your house and deposit it into your cistern for your household use. Did we drink it? NO. We buy bottled water for drinking. So, when it rains, we are HAPPY. Why? We don't have to buy water! And yes, it's expensive!! But now we have city water too, so we don't have water trucks deliver to us anymore. But getting FREE water from a wonderful rainstorm....EXCELLENT! So, here's a photo of our little rainstorm.
