Rain?

It sprinkled here last night. It hasn't so much as sprinkled/rained here since May 24, so I was a little excited at the prospect of water falling from the sky.

So much so that I shot a quick video.

(And yes, my grass looks hideous. I know that. But I live in a desert, apparently this is news to some of my neighbors).

Wow, 4 months without rain?! That's nutty. But right for your climate, sounds like. I liked the part of the video that you shot through the darkened leaves of your maple tree. Hope you get more rain soon!

I'm J-E-A-L-O-U-S! No rain out here in Davis which is just 45 minutes away. Let's keep our fingers crossed for some more.

Isn't rain exciting? We had some last week, and are expecting more this coming weekend. About time, too!

I'll do a rain dance for you all - even the desert needs to get wet sometime.

Here in Chicago we so much rain a few weeks ago we all had flooded streets and basements. And the very next day all those people with their sprinklers on timers had them going at full blast. Yep.
