We love rain!

We got rain. 🙂

A lot of rain.

Enough rain to change the contours of the arroyos and drainages and, in some cases, the roads.

How much rain? In at least one place, a bit more than 2 inches, which fell in roughly seven hours.

To give that some context, we got 2 inches of rain between April and late July (!).

This apparently came from Tropical Storm/Depression Harold, which missed my folks in Central Texas and swooped north to the Four Corners area. Harold, we thank ye!

I think it’s also greening up again. Already. 🙂 Wow. We love rain!

Two inches in 7 hours! That is impressive and for us high desert dwellers, an unexpected bounty. Wonderful! We’re experiencing some rebound greening too with this bit of monsoon. Your photos are beautiful, TJ; the Basin is showing signs of revitalization. 😃

Isn’t that crazy?! I think the grass has already grown between 6 inches and a foot. 🙂

Well, there was a LOT of runoff. But by the grass – I’m really not kidding – a lot DID soak in. What a great guy, err, storm, that Harold. 🙂

We got rain, too. And today is humid. I was out with Bear and my sweat didn’t dry. What’s up with that????

Glad for your rain, too! And wow, right?! That *humidity*! I do not like it … for all that it’s normal in Texas. … I’m definitely a dry-heat kinda girl. 🙂 But if it means rain, it’s OK. … The mosquitoes now out? Hm. … Not super happy about those critters (!).
