It rained last Sunday…and I mean poured! And it wounded like there was a raging river off the roof onto the porch just outside my window. I love the sound of rain…this however came with all sorts of wind that then made all the windows and doors slam around and make lots of noise because of course they were all open to get any sort of breeze…but this meant in the middle of the night I was wandering around trying to find all of the open and banging offenders…found most of them and slept oh so well.
And 2 days later the bugs arrived…after the first 3 rains the termites (or ants with wings) all start coming out of the ground…ute and I were sitting on the rock in front of my house watching the sunset colors and we looked around to this paved area and there were some beautiful birds hopping around eating something…the birds were this dark purple and when the light hit them they were iridescent..it was beautiful—one of them did a little tour right in front of us almost like he was just showing off. We couldn’t tell what they were feasting on but a few minutes later we saw these columns of bugs coming straight out of the ground and flying up…the birds were having a field day and the number of bugs just had us in awe…found out later they were termites—loses some of its appeal but it was cool. And now there are these beetles that are swarming any light that is left on…hard to walk through to get to doors but we’re managing…
