After a long wedding weekend in hot, humid Puerto Vallarta - lounging on the beach between appearances - we returned home to decent weather for March. Cooler, non-humid weather.
Cold, wet, windy weather. Winter weather. Even rain with hail mixed into it last night.
Weather that the dogs dislike. Weather (especially when there's thunder and lightning) that makes the dogs a bit crazed, huddling up on the bed and (for Fiyero) trying to lick the skin off of our face/neck/whatever he can reach Miyake is satisfied shaking. No amount of comforting helps until the rain/thunder/ and especially hail lets up.
Reminds me of our first January in San Miguel when it rained for days, flooding parts of the lower town. We were happy to be up on a hill at that point. A pain to walk back up the hill every day upon returning home from downtown, but comforting when the creek overran its banks!
We remember walking through that part of town, looking for a new place to live when our agreement expired that wasn't up on top of a hill and comparing the potential houses' locations with the water level marks that were left on buildings.
Now to find some insulating strips to quiet the metal-framed doors and windows when the winds are blowing....
LATER - It's raining again, but at least there's no wind this time. Bedroom drapes are closed, perhaps we'll all get to sleep a bit earlier.
EVEN LATER - At 3 AM Miyake decided that she needed to go out And it's stopped raining altogether!
Thursday - Okay, this is weird. It seems to be snowing. A sort of slushy snow that puddles, but it's snow! Third time in recent memory that it's happened here: 1978, 2009, and now this year Out in the campo they received more snow/snow; we put up with the melty stuff. And presently (1 PM) the skies are clear, the wind is gone, and the sun is out - but it's still chilly!
