Drip Drip Drop

It is no use to grumble and complain; It's just as cheap and easy to rejoice; When God sorts out the weather and sends rain - Why, rain's my choice. - James Whitcomb Riley

Let the rain kiss you. Let the rain beat upon your head with silver liquid drops. Let the rain sing you a lullaby.
-Langston Hughes

Like a welcome summer rain, humor may suddenly cleanse and cool the earth, the air and you. - Langston Hughes

Many a man curses the rain that falls upon his head, and knows not that it brings abundance to drive away the hunger. - Saint Basil

We got a very lovely rain storm a short while ago.  Such a pleasantly blowing diversion.

Now, don't get me wrong.  I love the weather here in New Mexico.  I could never, ever live someplace like Seattle.  All that rain would have me putting my head in a gas stove.

I do love sunshine.

That said, it has been a very dry rainy season so far. 

People who don't live in New Mexico tend to laugh when we say that we have a rainy season.  After all, this is a high desert.  But we do have two months (July and August) where we are supposed to get a large portion of our annual moisture. 

We tend to worry when the moisure heads north or stays to the east.  This has been the case so far thanks to a high pressure system in the northeast corner of the state.  That has moved off to the east, allowing more moisture to head in.  Which lead to this evening's storm.  Lots of wind and a significant amount of rain.
 
My car now looks cleaner.  Up until now, all we'd had were a couple of quick bursts of moisture followed by blowing dust.  Which made my car look grubby.  The dirt is now mostly gone.  Hooray!
 
All in all, a very good result was had.
