Rained out?

After the dry period came the rains, and how they came, every day, sometimes all day. A wet mist settled on the mountain sides and clouds floated into the house. Keeping mold down became a constant battle and clothes and sheets were permanently wet. Dry gullies became rivers and the forest floor became filled with verdant growth. The rains were much needed but they began to wear me down a bit and I am pleased to announce that for the last two days they seem to have stopped. The sun is out again and I remembering how beautiful the hills can be.
