Try to be a rainbow
in someone's cloud.
-Maya Angelou
Arizona's weather is mostly the same throughout the year. Sunny and cool. Sunny and warm. Sunny and hot. Sunny and very hot. But this time of year the Monsoon season hits. It has been skirting around us with just a little bit of rain and wind...until last night. Wowza...it was windy and we got quite a good downpour for over an hour and then light rain into the night. The rain is much needed, the wind not so much, and the rain would be extra welcome in lighter doses. Thankfully, the dust storms, or Haboobs as they are called, have missed us. Leah snapped this photo a week ago when she was here for the day. We were driving home after eating out and this was our view out the window to the west. As the rain was coming down out of the cloud, we could actually watch the cloud shrink and change shape before our eyes. It was beautiful.
There was a tragic event with the rain in Payson, Arizona this weekend. Canyons, washes and arroyos are very dangerous this time of year as deadly water, without warning and without it actually raining where you are, can flood through and cause great destruction.
Weather is bigger than its own word .
I'll be looking for a rainbow today.
