It has begun

Monsoon season is finally here.

I woke up last night to flashes of light in my room. Now this is usually due to airplanes, but then I heard something. Thunder.

YEAH! YEAH! YEAH! YEAH! YEAH!

Open the blinds. "Oh my gosh, dog, it's raining." We both stood in the window and watched it rain, lightening, and thunder with a fury that no one has seen in 81 days.

That's right! 81 DAYS SINCE IT'S RAINED.

The last day it rained was Saturday, April 9th. It was a very cold day - only 45 degrees outside.
And while yesterday was in no way cold, it was so beautiful to just sit there and listen to the rain and thunder, and watch the lightening through the curtains.

Did you wake up at 4:30 AM and hear the storms?
If not, here's a video I shot in the dark. You can hear the rain as constant fuzz in the background, sometimes hearing the gusts, and then comes the lightening and thunder.




I also tried to take some photos but my camera wasn't really cooperating...

Post lightening



And here's my room being lit up by the lightening



And then from our walk this morning to survey...
