more rain

It started raining lightly yesterday afternoon about 4 PM and kept it up all night. I got up twice in the night to move furniture and to unplug some lights that I though might get water soaked. By 7 AM this morning it had stopped, but then sprinkled on and off all day. At dinner time which, since this is Friday, meant Dago time, it had stopped raining and the sun was out. We strolled down to the puesto at 6 PM and there was a spectacular sunset, not a full sky blaze but a brilliant red down at horizon level under the lowering clouds. And where was the camera to record this gorgeous sight? At home, of course. Maybe it will happen again tomorrow. Neighbor Nelson assured all of us that we could get more rain tomorrow. El Niño, he said. We'll see. Meanwhile, Fernando couldn't come and clean the palm trees today; too dangerous with heavy, rain-soaked and rain-slicked fronds. Maybe tomorrow if we don't get more rain in the night. These are the trees on our lot next door which have become condos for squirrels. Not cute, despite what Walt Disney or others have said. Furry vermin.
