We have been getting delightful rain showers for the last two days. The forecast says it is just about over, though. We welcome the rain anytime in the desert as long as it isn’t one of those destructive microbursts like we had last summer.
This picture was taken during a lull in the shower activity. I noticed the water droplets clinging to the Palo Verde out front and thought they looked very pretty. Click on the image to enlarge.
We got about 1.8″ over the last few days.
Good thing it was nice and slow, or we’d have mudslides everywhere!
We didn’t get nearly that much. Looking at the precip data from the airport here, we would be lucky if a half inch fell. We need the moisture this time of the year, since it’s usually very dry.
