We have had over a week of afternoon monsoons. Hardly anybody is complaining about it - it's so very exotic for 'round these parts. Rain in the afternoon. Rain in the evening. Rain meaning a very big drop or two of something wet from the sky - so big and so wet that you are sure it's a bird dropping and check. Cycling in it has been wonderful.
We are still getting an appearance of that hot yellow orb in the sky and a large enough dose that many of us are plenty nut brown enough for the season.
Some of the tomato plants are taller than me.
So have we! It's been incredibly wonderful. Rain makes me feel so cheerful and we hardly ever get any in a high altitude desert. It rained all last night with heaps of thunder and lightning. And it's been raining softly all day today.
