It has been raining here every night. I think we are officially in the "rainy season". This is not your normal rain, even the big storms I remember from the mid-west are in dull in comparison to what we have going on here. These are the rain storms that have thunder that shakes the whole house to the point that you wonder if it is another earthquake. It sets off all the car alarms. Lightening that knocks down trees that have a 4 foot diameter and gives noon day light to a room. And the rain, oh the rain. Given our windows are not sealed well, every morning we wake up to large puddles in each room and on the nights when we forget to shut the windows all the way, we wake up to a small swimming pool on our floors.
The kids love the rain and I do too except on laundry day when it is mad dash every time to beat the rain from drenching our line drying laundry.
Last night was a rare exception in that it started raining before bed time. The kids were not yet bathed so they ran outside and were playing in the rain. CT begged "Mom I have always wanted to have a shower in the rain" so they did. It may be their last time as they soon realized even though we are in Haiti, the rain is chilly.
