I was waiting for ages for the rainy season to begin, and for the past few weeks, it’s been so hot that I thought it would never start. Then finally, a horizon full of heavy clouds appeared and it finally started to rain for real!

It rained for a whole night and half a day, which is good. It’s when the rains come too abruptly in the beginning, that the floods appear (because the soil cannot “digest” so much water at the same time), but this rain was really good because it rained during such a long time, and not so violently as it often does.

The end result over at Ishtar’s ark was a wet soil (unfortunately it was muddy in the horse yard) and some well showered animals!

And the drops of rain lasted for several hours. Let’s hope now that this was the water boost that nature needed to start to bloom again!
