Monsoon Season

The one thing I adore about the desert is the desert monsoons.  I LOVE them!  The sky is filled with electricity, the clouds rumble and crack with bolts of lightning, the smell of summer rain sweeps across the plains!  I sat outside in the middle of the yard soaking up each giant raindrop as they slowly started to splash around me in a steady sprinkle that lasted for about 30 minutes.  Then the sun peaked its head out and the clouds began to dissipate.  Before long it was as if nothing happened.
