Gifts from Heaven this morning...

On my beach walk this morning, I was blessed with a gift from heaven...
a rainbow over the full moon just setting.
(look closely to see the full moon just under the rainbow)

He made it!

(read the rest of the story on the post just before this one.)

The Dilema...

How does somebody get home when it has rained
so hard all day and the overflow streams now
overflow the road!?!

Fortunately, for us, we turn off the road just before the overflow stream.

I was still curious how deep the water was!

But, he just wanted to go home, and unfortunately, lives up the road.

He decided he could make it. So, here he goes!

How much does it rain on Kauai???

The average rainfall for Kauai annually is 460 inches...

that computes to 1.26 inches/day.

(Mt. Wai'aleale, which is on Kauai, is the wettest spot on the earth.)

Now, you might think that it rains every day here...which it does not.

We have many, many sunny gorgeous days!

But it did rain today...HARD...all day.

The waterfalls off Mt. Wai'aleale,

(which aren't visible on a sunny day),

were absolutely amazing!

This is my "scientific" way of measuring the rain.

I took the picture above yesterday.

This is my vase with today's rainfall!

Sunrise for us...

begins at Lumaha'i Beach...

and Sunset....

ends at Ke'e Beach

no words needed here... :)

Rainbow over Wainiha

For those of you that have been following my blog

and know that I live on Kauai now...
and so, you also know that my shower is outdoors...

Well, this morning while taking a shower in the rain...
I looked over to see a beautiful rainbow over the property.
Now that truly is paradise!
