Rain in Cabarete this morning
To: Whatever deity may be listening.
From: A parched gringo
Please send me some rain. I don't often ask you for anything and I hope that fact will find favour with you. I don't want a hurricane or a torrential downpour that washes away the hillside or floods the low lying areas. A gentle soaking will suffice. Ideally, one 24 hour period to get this started, take a break for a day, then 4 or 5 consecutive waterings between 7pm and 7am would be most welcome.
I watch the sky, see the dark clouds, but inevitably they blow over or dissipate before delivering their load. What rain you have sent my way this year is just not enough to sustain all the new plantings I have a mi casa and I just can't keep up with their needs.
If you need me to toss an offering into the sea or better yet, consume an offering on your behalf, just let me know.
Sincerely,

Have a look at the current Atlantic satellite images on NHS.
Virtually clear all the way to Africa.
Stock up on cold beer.

Gringo is trying to find a thread where he won't be vilified....

I am sure he'll start predicting the exact coordinates of the next tropical storm after a few frias!

Be careful for what you wish for there!!!
Whoops just realized this wasn't posted today...
I thought I slept thought this rain or something?!
If you garden, one of the hot new things to do is add ground up charcoal into your soil. Acts like a sponge during droughts and lasts over 100 years. Check Youtube out for Biochar videos.
It happens. At least there was some rain last night. We were in Sosua for the concerts on Playa Alicia and when we came back was happy to see some rain had fallen in Cabarete. Nothing fell on Playa Alicia during the shows.
