The rains.


Last year at this time it was brutally hot. This year, although we've had a few intense days, it's rained a lot more than was expected. This past week the mountains were covered in a misty shroud of fog every morning... and some days that turned into rain in the afternoon. Rain is good, it cools everything off and it means the barrels for water are full and the mealies (corn) and all kinds of other food are growing. Just a few months ago Metz was brown and dry and now, within the last two months, green has exploded. Cross your fingers it keeps up!
