Monsoons

I love Monsoon season. Right when you think it'll never rain again, it pours and pours. We haven't had a lick of rain since May 1 (it is the desert...) and the last three days we've gotten rain in the afternoon. It makes me think of the African wildlife shows that document the annual weather cycle, and show the animals coming out of their baked stupor once it starts raining. I love that we get beautiful clear mornings, then menacing clouds by 2 or 3 pm, then a nice downpour. I mean, it's 72 degrees outside right now! Sure beats 100. And by this evening, it will have cleared off and we'll get an awesome sunset.
