May is a beautiful month in Rwanda.
In the morning at Urukundo, the sun is shining, birds are singing and there is no sign of rain.
We are blessed. After the torrential rainstorms and mud floods, this is a welcome relief.
When clouds come down
I share with you one of my favorite sights in Rwanda and what on occasion I can see from the top of my mountain. Remember Rwanda is the land of many mountains of many different sizes; some are considered hills.
Here in Rwanda we have small and large volcanoes.They are beautiful but when active dangerous. Most are not active.
The volcanos reach high into the sky. Usually you cannot see their tops as the cloud cover hides them from view. There are four in this area of Ruhengeri. Two are visible from our school on a clear day.
Small and large close together. Top not visible on tall one.
When the tops are visible, they are a beautiful sight to behold.
There are occasions when the cloud cover is so intense that it covers not only the volcano but it comes down to the top of our mountain.
My home is close to the top of a high mountain, so clouds move in on us at times. That was the case one morning in May. Looking out my door, I could not see beyond my hand. The cloud was like a huge blanket. Everything waits for the clouds to lift.
I love the differences in Rwanda and like sharing them with you.
