The Sun And The Rainfall

A thunderstorm rolled through last night. A few flashes of lighting to begin with, followed by thunder and wind. The heavens absolutely opened shortly thereafter and we got ALL the rain as far as I could tell.

It was just delightful. We're having some extreme heat this summer. A couple of our trees are having a hard time even with deep root watering. Thankful the lemon tree got a nice extra long drink. The desert just smells so great after a thunderstorm. Savored every minute standing outside taking in deep breaths.

Of course our back yard is a neighborhood debris magnet. So it was a different story this morning once I could see how much I was going to have to clear up. But we'll take it.

    Why is it a "neighborhood debris magnet"?

      Heh, whenever there's a storm, we get all the leaves…like, all of them it seems.  A swimming pool is like having the world's best leaf attraction device right there.

    Your "neighborhood debris magnet" here in Salt Lake is the wind blowing dust everywhere and then the rain comes down to dirty everything up.
