After one of the hottest days ever, we are now plagued with the coldest day ever! Yesterday evening, Prairie noticed that the wind was blowing in from the north, which is usually an indication of a cold front that brings rain. And she was right! The wind and rain begain in the early morning and has only let up for a few brief moments all day. You can't even sit on the porch without getting wet, we we've mostly stayed inside. Even then, the wind blows the rain in through the gaps in the windows, walls, and roof. It's so chilly and damp that I've been wearing long pants all day and wrapped a big towel around my shoulders. Our water tank, which was almost empty, is now completely full and overflowing, and it keeps raining!

Sunshine is such a relief after a day of solid rain. Who would have guessed, after the heat we experienced on Wednesday! It was a very comfortable morning, with a mix of sun and clouds. But then it started raining again in the late afternoon...
Saturday, 1 March.
More rain?! Sigh. I actually like the cooler days when there is some rain, but I don't enjoy when all day or even half the day is just solid rain. We did laundry this morning, which was kind of a joke--had to hang the clothes inside; wonder how many days it will take them to dry? With the heavy clouds, we really had no idea what time it was, so dinner ended up being really late--we were cooking in the dark by the light of the lantern and a flashlight! I am ready for another hot sunshiney day!
