It came around 8 last night in already darkening skies. There was a small chance of rain in the forecast, but that means little here. Thunder rolling, lightening flashing, dogs ahiding. It was wonderful to smell the rain and we stood on the porch, as did our neighbors, to welcome the shower. All in all we got 0.25", which is a nice start to the monsoon season. Possibly more heading our way tonight and tomorrow.
The moist air made for a great bike ride this morning: the desert smelled spicy and there were still some lingering clouds. Lots of bird song along our route, and lots of bugs bouncing off our helmets and teeth. Definitely more humid now. We are headed for a great time of year. Even the bees seem happy, rolling around in the cactus pollen.
