Scattered rains around us, norther Sonora got a great soaking the other night, some decent rains to the east of us, Tucson even got lucky.  Here’s a couple of photos from yesterday that you could call “almost.” 

On my way home yesterday about 5 pm, this was more or less the scene.  The sky was cloudless about 2 hours before.

And by 8.


All the above, taken and processed on the iPhone.


And then only drops for us, others fared well.   You can often feel quite beside yourself when it rains elsewhere within your view, even worse when it’s just your neighbor and you don’t get a drop.  But on such a dry year for everyone, you can be happy regardless of who got the rain.


Northern Mexico, which has been drier longer with more heat, got a steady rain for over 4 hours.  In response I loved this Facebook post by one of the girls in the Xunutzi dance group – Viridiana Olivas: “Hermosisima lluvia, no quisiera molestarte pero si hoy ns visitas de nuevo me harias mas qe feliz!! de antemano muchas gracias=)”
