Monsoons

I've only been to Arizona a few times, and even fewer in the summer months.  I've only seen a monsoon twice, once at Sharon's place in Green Valley and once in Sedona.  Both times it was a wondrous sight to behold!

It's hot outside and just bit muggy, the clouds are gathering and some are quite dark.  It seems that they come from the north and travel roughly south west.  Sometimes it's the full sky and sometimes just a cloud or two with something that looks like a sheer curtain coming straight down (that's rain).  As it dashes through your area, the temp drops about 20-30 degrees in just a few minutes.  The air goes from from hot/muggy to cool and comfortable and then RAIN!  A few minutes later the rain has moved on and the sun comes out and the air is fresh.  It's quite the experience.

These last few days it has rained daily for just a few minutes.  Not like Hawaii at all, but like itself, hot one minute, wet the next, cool and lovely the next.  I think I'm going to love it here in the summer!

Tomorrow we close escrow on our new house.  We will be embarking on a new adventure.  I can't wait to see what this brings!
