Raining

Rain in the desert is a welcomed event.  Today, I awoke to the sounds of drizzling rain.  No thundering, no lightning, and no wind.  Just drizzling rain coming straight down.   Everything looks so clean and when the sun appears there are diamonds on the leaves of the trees & bushes that still have them.  I put out some bird seed and was delighted to see the mother cardinal arrive.  The year-round hummingbird is always here.  











There were quail on top of the fence earlier but I wasn't fast enough to get the camera.  

What have you seen in your back yard today?

Arizona Sunsets

I had a late appointment at my chiropractor this afternoon and on my way home, this is what I saw.  






A few days ago we had some much needed rain.  Another storm is suppose to move in this weekend.  I'm hoping that we continue to get this much needed rain as our desert really needs it.

Stormy Day


A storm blew in early this morning and left us with some much needed rain.  This storm did not bring the winds and dust that the previous storms have.  As I was leaving work today, here is a view of some of the clouds.  












This windmill is right dab in the middle of Cave Creek.  It seems odd that there are power/telephone lines running all around it.  



PLEASE HELP  FIND THESE HORSES.

Morning Sunrise

I was fortunate enough to catch the sunrise this morning and it was so beautiful.  We are expecting a storm this afternoon/evening.  We are hoping for a little bit of rain.  























Sunrises & sunsets in Arizona this time of year are so beautiful!

Fall Growing Season


In Arizona we have two growing seasons, one in the spring and another one in the fall.  August & September were a couple of the hottest months I've seen.  My tomatoes are doing well and I hope I get a fall crop.  The spring crop was so delicious.  This is my first attempt at a fall crop.  They look like they are liking the growing conditions.  


























We are expecting wind and possible rain tomorrow.  I'm thinking I need to wrap these so that they don't get blown to pieces.
