Monsoon Season

7/29/2019

In New Mexico, monsoon season is July and August.  This is a time of changing winds, afternoon thunderstorms and wondrous lightning shows.

Since we've been here, monsoon season, other than winds, has been pretty much a bust.  Rain has been non existent, and although we've seen the storms and sheets of rain fall further north, we've not seen a drop.  Until last week.

I've already learned to measure my rainfall in minutes, rather than inches.  Coming from East Tennessee, this has been a bit of a culture shock, but I have to admit that I love the constant sun.

Anyhoo, last week, we had rain twice.  The first time, it lasted over an hour, and two days later we had rain for about fifteen minutes.  It may not seem like much, but we'll take it.  Our water bill will thank us.

Of course, the sunset was even more spectacular after the storm:

    In May, 2019, we fell in love with Albuquerque and the Land of Enchantment.  We moved into the house of our dreams and will share our misadventures with home ownership!

    ​We'll also share the beauty of this area as we get to know our adopted home.
