132 and Counting
We have now gone 132 days without measurable rain here in the Valley of the Sun. BUT, there is hope. It is cloudy. The dew point is up. They humidity is up a little. Crossing our fingers and hoping for rain. I’ll let you know what happens!
Update 5:53 PM: Marlene has sprinkles and she is a bit west of me. None here yet, though.
To put this in perspective? Melody is almost 4 months old and has never seen rain. There has been no rain in her lifetime. Think about THAT.
Update 6:17 PM: I just got back inside from taking Melody and Little Girl out to play in the sprinkles. Not a LOT of sprinkles, but sprinkles. Woohoo!!!

I wish I could send you some of our rain (or snow)! It’s supposed to get wet and nasty here tomorrow. *sigh*

I heard last night that this is the driest winter since 1903-04! We are already on fire bans and drought watch.

Bright, sunny, and windy right now…so windy that there is a wicked fire west of us in the mountains we’re watching. It’s gonna be a looong summer methinks.
