Weather

It is monsoon season here in Arizona. It is not raining yet. We have had a 'trace' so far. Areas around here have had some rain, but not in Tucson proper yet.

It has been cloudy most days. Yesterday, I was at work and we had a huge grey cloud overhead with lightening and thunder and two drops of rain. Just enough to mess up the dust on your windshield.

We keep watering the yard. Hopefully soon the rains will come and we can see some proper growth. Lots of plants need a rain to fully put out new growth, watering from a can is just not enough. There must be some minerals let loose from the ground when it rains.

We did have 7 inches over the winter and the weeds are horrendous. Most of them have died by now because of the heat, but we still have some hanger-oners.

It was 109 the other day. Very warm. Keeping cool in the house mostly. Of course, the electric bill is very high.

See you soon.
