Today I am thankful for the cool rain and breeze after six sweltering weeks of scorching sunshine. (Yes, the rain does always knock our power out or in the case of today makes it low, fluctuating current all day.). Today there was not even a need for the generator or AC – just open the windows and let the cool breeze in! Amazing!! It was wonderful and restful.

And I didn’t feel the least bit bad about sending the kids outside to play. I chuckled to myself as I watched them run by the window with felled palm fronds in their hands chasing each other!
