THE MONSOONS ARE HERE

Yesterday (June 28) we had a monsoon storm the likes of which we haven't seen in the four years we have lived in Green Valley.  Our rain gauge showed about 3 and 1/2 inches of rain and that was within a 2 hour period.  Bob decided he needed to drive around and assess the damage.


Bob and Boomer hung out in the garage watching the rain

this ocotillo didn't make it!

This morning we walked around the walking path and these were pictures Bob took to show the aftermath.

Trees down all over




We love the monsoon rains, but this one was a little fierce; however, it is suppose to be 106 today so the puddles will dry up quickly.
