picture of the day – Rain in the desert

Picture of the day….. Well it’s actually raining in AZ, Phoenix that is…. YAY! ( insert me jumping and running around with excitement.)

Yes it is raining in the valley of the sun, it is raining in the desert.  So happy right now.  a few moments ago the wind started blowing like crazy and you could hear the thunder pounding and see the lightning dancing in the distance…. and right now I felt a sprinkle.

I understand you are thinking sprinkle ?  you are jumping up and down for a sprinkle?

Yes yes I am ,  its rain to us…… one sprinkle can lead to a down flood of rain and within 15 mins my street will be too flooded to drive on

You have to understand our soil doesn’t know how to deal with the rain so it take it a while to suck up the water,, In short when it rains it floods in phoenix.  but we love it.

I am enjoying this Monday rain!
