Wetness

The first thunderstorm of the season. Blip is backyard. Extra is entranceway. Look how big that stalk has grown! The storm lasted only 20 minutes but with a vengeance. Got 0.10” which may not seem like much but it really is. It was so exciting! I opened all of the blinds on the side of the house getting pummeled so I could watch. The official start of the monsoon isn’t until 15 June (ends 30 Sept) so this won’t even count towards it.

Soy feliz! Me encanta la lluvia! ¡Yupi!
