Barry Burbank, channel four weatherman, brought things to perspective last week when he reminded us that we have lost almost two hours of daylight since summer.

It sort of feels like the week after Christmas around the Island.

Once again, it is raining for the first time in days. The ground is screaming for rain. I put some plants in the ground and, only an inch into the digging, I hit powder soil.

We finally got some much needed rain. We still need more but I will take what we got. Now if we could get rid of the humidity I will be very happy.

Rain, glorious rain! It was a great call on Saturday when we had some glorious rain showers and a little thunder and lightning. The plants and ground have been screaming for it.

I will say the plants and ground are screaming for rain and I hope we get some soon.

If we could only regulate it so it is warm and beautiful during the day.

After getting rid of the humidity, we are enjoying nice, sunny, dry air.

The song goes “those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer.” Lazy? Not this time on the Island.

We have been lucky with the nice weather but we have also got some much-needed rain. Now we are preparing for some humid weather coming our way.
