WHIRLWIND SEPTEMBER

The month of September turned out to be full of action!  There was hardly time left for sleeping...which will end up being a problem after awhile.
Here are some of the highlights.
 
 
SEPTEMBER 11th we had a rain storm.  The rain came down so fast in such a short period that the water did not have time to soak in, since the ground is so hard here. 
 
Here are some of the pictures from the results of such a short time of heavy rain.
 

 
Mail truck...wondering if any of the mail stayed dry???



 
Just when it was time for me to go and pick Kai up from school the rain started.  I could hardly see through the wind shield!
The kids were so excited about the rain.  Niko opted to go home with his scooter from the school.  His reasoning was that he did not want to get the car muddy since his shoes were wet...but in reality he just wanted to enjoy the wet streets outside.  It is such a treat here.

 
Later taht day I took Markus back to high school for his band practise.  While driving to school I spotted a beautiful double rainbow.  By the time I got back home to grab my camera the rainbow was almost gone...just a hint of it was left...the air smelled fresh and clean...another rearity here, where it almost never rains.
