This may well be the earliest start of the rainy season



Our weather continues to arrive from the northwest. 
Further east of us, the Phillipines are targeted by storms. 
Our rainy season generally peaks with weather arriving from the east 



If accuweather is accurate this may well be the earliest start of the rainy season. May starts off with a week of warm weather, but rain forecasts outnumber the sunshine forecasts in may

"ilike" to see where I'm walking at night



Been wanting Solar lamps for my garden.  Had some before and they lasted a couple years. They were more expensive then.  

Testing out this inexpensive solar unit. Seems quite bright.  Lasts all night.

After a trial period I may decide to disconnect and replace night perimeter lights.

One consideration:  Theft proof installation !!

Had some ripped off years ago

Beware of snakes looking to move in with you

Been a number of recent snake sightings around my yard.  I'm beginning to think that they have some sense of detecting weather changes.   
Seems like they look for drier grounds before the rains arrive.
When I walk through the yard during early mornings I make some noise. Snakes tend to attack when they feel they are threatened.   
If they know I'm there, without sudden surprises, they tend to slitter off.  
There's been a lot in the local media of snakes in the toilets. I keep the toilet seat in an upright position when not in use.  Toilet seats are great hiding places for spiders, snakes, mosquitoes, and other biting creatures

Just add cowpies and watch things grow

Planted the bean seeds about 10 days ago, can get a handful almost daily now.  I prefer to pick em before they get too long and leathery






Big lime harvest.  The leaves are popular for cooking

Later this year I should have an unending supply of Papaya.  Had a dozen trees, just planted 15 more today

I'm done with the gardening, time for brunch
