like some rain?

The rains are crazy this year! They're crazy every year though. It rains at night, rains in the morning, rains after lunch. 



 All the little bugs and critters living in the dirt come out of their hideaways during these months. Thankfully, due to all our yard care before the rains began, we're better off this year than we've ever been in the bug & snake category!


See all the banana trees just starting to grow in the back corner? There's about 15-20 new trees back there crammed into that little space, all new in the last few weeks. You can almost watch the banana trees grow in this season, they're so fast. A regular Saturday morning around here means getting out the machete and chopping down around 30 small banana trees.


You don't see kids around here playing out in the rain, but our neighbor kids are finally getting into it too. They started off carefully keeping dry under their umbrellas, but pretty soon, they were dancing and splashing in the water too!
