Return of Ngumbi

The first really big rain of the year means that the Ngumbi have returned.  We were sitting in our living room at night and heard some strange sounds on the porch.  We finally checked it out to find massive flying termites around the light and crawling on the screens.  In the morning, it was cloudy and rainy and there were Ngumbi flying around everywhere.  At one point there were so many in the air it looked like it was snowing.  Granted, it was big brown snow that never really fell to the ground,  but it still like snow.  Everyone around is collecting the Ngumbi as they fly around the lights at night and sweeping them up from the rain gutters.  The sisters collected about 10 full buckets and plan on frying them later today.
