Rain, Rain Go Away

South Florida in the winter is considered their "dry season". But this winter has been unusually wet. It has rained for several weeks, sometimes every day. About a month ago, I was driving one of my Achievement girls home and it was raining so hard I could hardly see the road! Thank goodness Mark was waiting for me at home with an umbrella, otherwise I would have been drenched! I'm not sure anyone really minds, but sometimes it gets a bit dreary. The older scouts had a camp out and hike this past week in the Everglades and it rained pretty hard on them. Mark was with the younger boys on Friday. Luckily they didn't get the rain. Girl's Camp here is during Spring Break which was last week. I asked one of the leaders why they don't do their camp in the summer and she said, "Because it's too rainy, buggy and hot." I understand in the summer it rains every single day around 3:00-sometimes a real "gully washer" as someone succinctly put it. We've been here for almost three months now which is amazing. The temple is coming along. The temple site will have two lakes on the property. The contractors use the material that comes out of the lakes they dig to build up the foundation of the temple. It's a lime rock. The water table here is so high that the foundation must be built up. I continue to enjoy the whole South Florida experience. I am so grateful to be here.
