Well it seems we survived our first summer here in AZ. August was a record breaking month for heat this year. So I guess you could say now we know what to expect. The monsoon season is wonderful to watch. I wish I had a good camera to take some pictures to show (maybe next year). I'm not sure if you heard about our sand storm on July 5th this year, but here is a picture I found that would show how big it was.
This is south Phoenix, luckily it did not hit us as bad but we did see some little bit of it. Some friends of mine at the old bead store I worked at here said that even with the window slightly cracked they got a coating of sand in their house.
This is some of what we can actually see from our back yard during monsoon season. Most of the time it does not even strike ground, it is absolutely beautiful.
Most of our summer has been seeking AC and staying indoors, now that it has started cooling down where we can actually use our blankets at night (which we missed dearly) we cant wait to go exploring.
It is strange coming from Washington where you cheer when you see sunlight and most of the time is expect rain, to come to a place where you can plan your outing because 98% of the time it will be beautiful weather, and people dance in the rain because they love the rain.
Soon I will have a new camera and be taking photos like crazy!! I can't wait.
