It's Official - Rain!

Monday afternoon it happened. The clouds gathered over, around and through the mountains surrounding our valley and it rained. Ok, not in the valley, just around, but with it came the lightening and thunder that should visit us on most of our remaining days. Now it is raining here, too, with the complete light and sound show. It's the slow rain that we ended with in December, but the sky is so loud, the way it rumbles and shakes, that the lack of complete downpour is not a let down at all. And as the rain comes, the year winds down to another ending.

With it I just want to remember my kitten, one of my favorites, who is now burried along the rock wall that seperates us from Honduras... but such is life here. Quick.
