Change of Season

This heavy downpour was, apparently, the last of the rainy season. It came down with a vengeance (see photo). Just two days later the winds started blowing, plus we had a couple of hefty earthquakes--both promising signs that the dry season is upon us. The winds filled the yard with leaves and small branches and blew the chairs right off the porch!

So, with the change of season, the tourists start pouring into the country. And we are expecting our beloved lil' Aria with her gorgeous little daughter, Sasha, plus husband James, his dad and stepmom, to arrive in early December ahead of the crowds. (I'll have plenny of photos for that big event--hopefully with a fancier camera which I ordered.)
