So yesterday the skies darkened, lightning flashed, deafening thunder cracked around us and those rain clouds overhead released their bounty onto the land. (Poetic, ain't I?)
More such storms are promised for the next few days, which could "put a damper" on the Fourth of July parades and fireworks shows and turn the Prescott rodeo into a mud bog.
So it goes in our annual monsoon season.
That was though the hardest time to go through every year with the prevailing humidity to put up with day and night for quite a while.
ReplyDeleteOur son told us about monsoon season when he lived in Tempe. I had no idea Arizona had monsoons.
ReplyDeleteThat rain looked glorious to we drought stricken Californians. And I especially enjoyed the running commentary between the Catalyst an SWMBO!
ReplyDeleteYou know you are an Arizonan if when it rains you run outside instead of running inside. Yup, that's what I did.
ReplyDeleteThe lightning was hitting too close for me to feel safe doing that. But normally I would have! :D
