April is when the rains should be saying their good byes to the city in order to be gone for a long time. It has rained day and night. The rains were soft and gentle, what we call female rain. Our farmers awaited them with great joy so that their fields could flourish and their crops reach maturity.
During this time of the year we have also seen rainbows with some frequency They appear suddenly, when least expected, especially when it is raining lightly while the sun shines. Its beautiful colors show up in the form of bars. Sometimes there are even two rainbows visible at the same time.
The weather report says that we can expect rains through at least the end of the month. People are talking because they all ready expected them to diminish but they continue, almost incessantly. Nevertheless, it is time for us to enter the next stage fo the year when potatoes and other food crops will appear in our markets in abundance and the earth will dry up.
