I know you've been missing our weather reports - so here's one: It rained yesterday! Not all day, but what started out as really large drops of rain sprinkling on us in the late afternoon turned into a furious storm with lots of rolling thunder. Didn't last too long - unfortunately - but it was rain. And we need it!
Things are kinda dryish here. The last few years we had storms in January/February, but not this year - so things are dry, the presas (reservoirs) are low, we have to water our lawn daily and the potted plants (including the lime tree) dry out quickly without their daily drink.
According to the weather forecast that Michael posted on FaceBook yesterday, storms are predicted daily for the next 7 or 8 days. What we really need is a gentle, night-long rain so that the water has a chance to soak in instead of running off. Run-off may help as the water makes its way to the presa, but it would help to have some stay local, ya know?
Luckily for Michael and Fiyero, Michael had walked him home from the groomers (Dusty Puppies - groomers to the gringos) before it started raining. We're hoping for the same luck today, when Miyake makes the same walk into Guadiana (a colonia a little over halfway into Centro; not quite to the Instituto). Fiyero looks pretty good but he has an Irish coat; Miyake's already looking good due to Michael's scissoring, but she has an American coat. We'll see what Rod does with her!
I think we're getting ready for our haircuts, too, soon. Will it be before or after our trip to San Diego next week to see Billy Elliott? It's gotta be before our Galveston cruise the week after or we'll have to eat on Deck 9 instead of the main dining rooms!
