Yesterday’s sunrise was a promise of rain.
Today arrived with taps of water at our window and a promise of something else on the horizon.
Let it rain.

I know!!! I think other people in the world might think we are weird with our celebration of rain, and anticipation of flowers. Lol. But because it’s never promised, It’s a true gift. Donna

We were planning a hike this morning, but decided to put it off. A little cool, and we were wondering about muddy trails. The rain fell for quire a while here in Buckeye yesterday.

PS. If it warms up later, it would be the perfect day to do Waterfall Trail, in the White Tanks. (I don’t think too far from you) You have probably been there, but with water flowing, and its NOT the weekend, perfect timing. If you havn’t been there, there are petroglyphs along the way too. Donna

In fact, I was invited to go on that hike again last week by a friend. Unfortunately, we had company.
I wouldn’t mind doing it again when there is water flowing. We even did that hike on a bright supermoon night led by a park ranger. That was pretty cool. No flashlights allowed (or needed.)

I know the feeling well of wishing for rain as I live in Australia – the driest continent on earth besides Antarctica. It is fun to celebrate the rainfall and the plants and flowers celebrate with us.

For many years I lived in Washington, a wet climate, and while beautiful and a great place to garden, I prayed for sunny dry days. Now in a dry climate, like yourself, it really is a celebration. Donna

Yes the grass always seem greener on the other side, so to speak. Since I commented earlier, we have been hit with a huge deluge. Ironically, it hasn’t stopped raining since yesterday. It is monsoonal so it there is minor flooding about. The dams are at 140% so will need to release some water soon which means the minor flooding might turn major if the rain doesn’t stop.
I am not complaining though. A minor inconvenience of pet dogs that do not want to go outside to do their business in the rain and a few damp clothes is only a temporary issue.

I am in Australia so there is no Spring here until September. We do generally get rain at this time. This year is an exceptionally rainy summer.

Ug. Lots of cleaning up after all that, but all the plants will be happy.

The plants get such a burst of growth after the rain. It is wonderful to see. Sadly though, for the first time in over 100 years, some huge and I mean huge, trees, Norfolk Island Pines have fallen down on the beach front. It changes the landscape dramatically but they could not be saved.

That is sad. Will the community replant as a restoration? I imagine they were an integral piece of the shoreline. Donna

They possibly will, but a young tree would struggle here given that the others are over 100 years old, it will be hard to replace anything that gives the same impression. They would need to plant an advanced tree, I think.

Yes. It’s a shame. It’s the roots that need to establish themselves, and you are right…take years.
