'Weather' you like it or not

Who doesn't like commenting on the weather? It seems we're hard-wired that way... while my family and friends are still chatting about how long winter is lasting in Canada, we chat about how dry things are or how wet.

The norm, even during the rainy season, is that we wake up to gorgeous blue skies, then later, it clouds over and rains for an hour or two. We've only just entered the rainy season here in Costa Rica (which is a good thing: we're happy about it and so are the forests, pastures and rivers). However, for the last two days, we've woken up to really cloudy mornings and misty rain. It feels like proper fall days. We have guests staying with us, but thankfully they don't seem to be too disappointed. I guess that's the advantage of living in paradise, it's beautiful even on dull, rainy days :)
