Rain!

It's raining!

My Granny always called May "the month of clouds with no rain," and she was right until recently. Florida's weather has always seemed unpredictable to the untrained eye, but it actually followed a regular pattern for about a century. My Granny has lived through most of that century, and she could almost always predict the weather for any given period of time. Florida's weather rarely varied from its set pattern.

Now, though, thanks to climate change, Florida's weather has changed drastically and become quite unpredictable. We have been living in drought conditions for over five years, so rain is more than welcome, even if it is unusually early.

I hope this means that our rainy season has come early.
