This is a beautifully written post and a joy to read. From my summer farm sit in Arivaca where we've been graced with two fabulous chubascos so far in June, I wish you and the Mules, a good squall or two this season! :)

Who says Arizona doesn’t see the change of seasons? We are in Flagstaff, and the monsoons manifest as light showers every afternoon… so far. Hopefully they bring enough water to dampen the forests and discourage wildfires. Thanks for an excellent post, Ken.

Absolutely! Thanks Mary. The kids in Mountainair say they're getting some nice thunderstorms now. Time for toads!

Thanks Rebecca! Someone told me yesterday the gazebo looks like it's been there 100 years...I'd call that a success!

Raining in Guadalajara now but a light rain. Nothing like the usual storms we associate with the season.

Thanks Karen! We got a quarter inch last evening...not much but I'll take it! Still waiting for the real pounder I can experience under the gazebo!
