The Monsoon has begun

We are ecstatic!! The Monsoon season began yesterday. Huge clouds started forming over the Santa Rita's on Saturday giving us hope for the rains to come. It's been months since we've had any rain, and when it comes, we love to be in it. What makes the Monsoons special is not just the rain, but the absolute showy beauty that they bring. The huge clouds add depth to the mountains and the lightning shows are the best entertainment around. Of course there are a few downsides to the storms like bugs, dust devils and power outages, but they are well worth dealing with for such a wonderful, unique season here in hot, dry Southern Arizona.
