Rain!

Tucson has had some rain the past two and a half days. This is the first time it's rained since at least early March. We needed it. Yesterday we supposedly broke a record for the most rain that fell on that day (0.5 inches) since they've been keeping track of such things. Fortunately, it didn't dump on us all at once, but instead rained steady all day. I actually saw a few puddles of water in the "river."

Of course, all this rain meant that roofs all over Tucson were leaking since Roofing 101 seems to be lacking from the education of local construction crews. Why worry about rain drainage when it only rains 6 or 7 times a year?

Weather forecasters are calling for an early and wetter than normal monsoon this year. That should make for a great spring flowering season NEXT year.
