It Rained!

It takes so little to make us happy here in NM. We're right in the middle of a torrential downpour complete with pea-size hail, thunder and lightening. I can't even remember the last thunderstorm we had...several years ago. Thank God!

I keep telling people that a real monsoon season is expected and they just look at me like I'm speaking Yupik. Today felt like there may be some truth to this. Did you catch that thunder?

And you can thank me because I washed my car this week.

And I thought it was because I deep soaked my young tree all night. It's been so long that my dogs barked at the thunder. They say an El Niño is forming and we ought to have a good monsoon, as well as a wetter winter. We'll see.

I'm thrilled you guys got some rain! We could go another few weeks without it and we'd still be okay - had enough rain + 70" of snow in the last 6 months, the water table is too high.

I sure hope so. I do love rain in the desert. I went outside with the dog this morning and it's gorgeous out there. This is good news for my roses after our recent warm spell.

And my car's filthy again, of course!

(May I ask what tree you planted?)

We had light rain & lots of thunder. Not enough to do any good really. 40% chance today.

We are expected to have a lousy monsoon season season & a 80% chance of an el nino for winter. That means lots of snow.
