The Rainy Season

You can see what a difference there is when the place is not bone dry.  The rainy season starts in May and lasts for a couple of months.  It usually rains every day but not for long.  It comes down hard and then stops.  The thunder bounces off the cliffs and makes a huge rumbling noise - very neat!  This generally happens during the day.  Everything stays wonderfully green for the rest of the year.

The bit of white you see is the roof of our neighbors house.
That will eventually be obliterated by bushes.  You can just make
out the water cascade in the middle of the picture.  You
can actually hear the water falling.

We have access to water and will have a big cistern
so hopefully we can keep the lawn looking this green
all year-round.  Two medical doctors own the land
beyond the low stone wall.  They'll see the back of our place!
