There is a fairly classic weather pattern going on around here. Usually, though, it occurs through July, instead of late May. Mornings have been clear, then heat builds clouds and scattered showers move through the valley.
This evening, we enjoyed listening to two thunder storms move through. There was quite a lightening show with the first one, and it rained pretty hard for a while. The second was a little more sedate, and more of a shower than a pelting rain. Fortunately, when we left for home (of course we were gaming) we caught the tail end of the shower. I'm sure it was, by the standards of places where it rains more often, sprinkles.
Raine, at six, and growing up in the desert, is rather dismayed by our latest weather pattern. I mean, it rained two days in a row! Well, that just disrupted her plans, let me tell you. It may disrupt them some more, tomorrow. If it is raining, she may not get to play in her wading pool with Ezekiel, something she has been looking forward to.
I can remember feeling unhappy with cloudy days as a kid. Oh, there were times when they just seemed to go on and on and on for weeks and weeks. I'm sure it wasn't like that at all, looking at those childhood perceptions with the adult perspective. Now, I can appreciate them more. Enjoy the cooler weather, and the calmness that seems to want to settle over with the clouds. Or, if the energy is right, the light and sound show is pretty cool, too.
At any rate, the forecast for tomorrow is more rain.

July rains in May? It'll make things bloom, but what happens to the rest of the summer? It'll be interesting, that's certain!
