It’s been a rainy season that “is not” more than “is.” However, tonight around 6:00 PM, I heard the unmistakable sound of rain and looked out the window.
This is incredibly good news for the mostly subsistence farmers in the valley of Oaxaca, as crops have been struggling and reservoirs are low.
The lack of rain has even impacted weavers who rely on plants, rather than chemicals, to dye their yarn.
We have also had a little hail along with continuing thunder and lightning.
Two hours and counting… Giving thanks to Cocijo (Zapotec god of rain, thunder, and lightning) and hoping this isn’t a one hit wonder.

SO needed, though maybe not all in five hours. 😉
Lovely❤️❤️❤️! I am a mushroom enthusiast and the rains help spread their life-giving mycelium, which helps everything on earth! Beautiful pics, too.
Thank you for your kind words! Yes, while the mountains where the hongos grow get a lot more moisture in the form of fog, I’m sure they have also been affected. We are all hoping the rain continues to fall, just not all at once and with the intensity we had last night!
