But when you live in the land of scorched earth and "but it's a dry heat" and temperatures above 100 for days in a row . . . that first rain of the summer monsoon is a very big deal.
I can remember our first evening in Phoenix back in early July of 1972.
We were in a small convenience store when everyone ran outside to enjoy a monsoon rain shower.
We thought they were crazy until we heard that it had been over 100 days since the last rain.
Now, many years later, we're the ones who dance in the rain.
(Figuratively speaking.)
'Swonderful!
