June in the tropical mountains of Costa Rica is the first month I become aware that "summer" has drawn to a close and the wet months of winter have secured their grip. The mountainsides begin to swell with humidity and the hard, brown landscape of the dry season transforms into soft, soothing shades that seem to have been poured on from buckets filled with green. Calm little clouds float past my house and make me feel like I am living within the pages of a destination magazine. It is like being on vacation just to peer out the window. Incredible.

Sounds wonderful. It's still in the middle of daily thunderstorms and tornado warnings here. Very pretty at times, but somewhat tiring. There's a bit of a breeze blowing in through the window that hints at humidity. The little garden could use a bit of rain, but chances are we'll just get hail again. Although all too soon it will be summer heat and no rain for weeks on end, so I'll enjoy the wet while I can. Would be nice to see rolling hills of green though.
