September blog

September Blog I lived in the Midwest, in Arkansas and in Phoenix, but I can say, summer is different in Ajijic from any of those places.   In summer we get most of our rain for the year.   Starting in June, the Catholic faithful gather for a celebration to bring on the rain and apparently it works.   We have had nearly 30+ inches in the past three months.   Days are dry but late in the afternoon, beautiful thunderheads begin to form on the mountains. Dark clouds seem to threaten and looking at the weather forecast on the phone it usually says 80% chance of rain from about 11 pm til 3 am.   We have learned this is just an estimate to make the weather watchers happy.   Sometimes the rain does not get over the mountains, but when it does we have some of the most beautiful lightning and glorious rolling thunder one could imagine.   In the morning we usually have cloudy cool days and a repeat performance the next day.   It may have touched 80 degrees a few times but still remains t-s
