What the departing snowbirds are missing
Most of our snowbird guests are heading home from Arizona by now. May and especially June tend to be hot and very dry. Our weather got a huge change from normal with the premature arrival of large influx of tropical moisture, a veritable early Monsoon. Lightning lit up our skies for most of last night and continued through this morning with a third of an inch of rain falling in about 20 minutes.
My bride captured this shot of Mt Lemon (you can just barely see the ridge line in the background), from our front yard. We have had quite a bit of rain this spring and as you can see all of the plants are loving it. Note the spectacular Century plant in the center of the photo:
