Rainstorm

We live in a desert.

A for real, oppressively hot desert.

During the summer months we anxiously wait for monsoon season.

Monsoons are wild and beautiful - rain and thunder and wind breaking apart the heat that drives us mad all summer long.

When it rains in the summer we grab the puppies and our flip flops and race out into the cul-de-sac.

My kids and my dogs are equally excited and giddy - they race around in the abnormally cloudy weather and play games in the puddles.

This was the first time it rained at our house this summer and it was GLORIOUS. If only it would last longer :)

Is there anything more powerful than a rainstorm in the middle of summer?
